I am looking forward to it. We had beautiful weather and location last year. Hard to beat the scenery. I will be doing a demo on hamons. Basically what steels to work with, how to apply the coating, heat treating, and polishing, along with some history of hamons.

Gary always does a great job with this event. If you are in the area or are thinking about it, I encourage you to attend.

Sounds like a great demo Brion! I always enjoy hanging out and watching a bunch of demos at this show!
