You hear a lot of people say “I want to know where my food comes from” but so many of the same are quick to hand off their kill to a butcher.

We can look at cost-saving alternatives like recycling certain gear and reusing others...

You may have overheard stories about the first one at BLADE Show. Perhaps you know of a rumor or two of the happenings from that epic weekend back in 2017.

Cast all of that aside because new memories and experiences are scheduled for Memorial Day Weekend this year in Georgia. The Fiddleback Forge User Weekend is a combination of training, camaraderie, story telling, friendly ribbing, no shortage of fun, and plenty of opportunities to be immortalized in the memory books. If that doesn’t pique your interest, let me further explain what you can expect should you sign up.
