So our open house was a decent success. This is only the 2nd year we have done it and I think we learned a few things to do for next year. Regardless none of it would have happened with out those of you that came in to see us and meet all the awesome makers that showed! I thought I would share some pics so you guys can see what all went down.

A big thank you to Todd, Murph, Allen and Ethan for traveling from so far away and doing so much. It was an honor to have you all here!

Group shot of the makers and kids that came to see us.

We were honored to have Ethan Becker come to our shop! Who would not be? Even cooler that he did a batoning demonstration right in front of our store.

Andy Sharpe a custom maker from the NC Knife Makers Guild came and set up a table! He and his wife were fantastic!

This is Dunebuggy from Southern Grind Knives. He was a fun guy to hang out and talk to. Hate he could not stay later in the night!
