The show was really good. Finally got to put a face with the names, and saw some excellent knives! Congratulations to all the winners!
The historic Bowie Knife exhibit at the museum was great! Can't even begin to imagine how much hand work went into crafting those knives! If you pass through Little Rock before the exhibit closes, it is well worth the visit.
