Annual Knife Making Work Shop
and Auction

Cowboy Szymanski
at
Phenix Knives
in Bellville, Texas



It is a new year, so it must be time to make a new knife at our annual Knife Workshop, and to donate and bid at our Annual Fund Raising Auction. This year's workshop is again hosted by Cowboy Szymanski at his shop in Bellville, Texas. He has helped in many of our previous knife demos and was a featured addtion at our 2005 Fall Forge Fest in Oldenburg. Last year we had a great day of hammering inside his shop and we have a new project this year. See our January 2007 Blacksmith Knife Workshop for info and photos.

Forged Camp Axe Our Annual Auction will feature many items worthy of your attention. These include new tools and books, used tools, materials, and the custom pieces made by talented smiths. This is always a unique opportunity to acquire and donate special and unique tools and art. (See our Sponsors Page) and our Preview Page.

This year we feature the Camp Hawk with a few new features. HABA will supply material or bring your own. Same for tools and forges.
