Congratulations Bill!!!
Bill and his knife did an excellent job. By the way, this blade was forged last weekend at the Branson Hammer In and Knife Show. The billet was done that Friday night at Gary Mulkeys shop. Very impressive.

Congrats to Bill! I was lucky enough to watch him forge that blade in Branson and learned a lot from watching Bill and what he told me. He has a genuine love for forging! I also had a lot of questions for him the following week at the Heartland Symposium and Bill is always willing to answer any questions and tell a few stories! Had a great time and good luck Bill at the Blade show for the 2nd part of your MS testing!
