I don't know how better to pique your interest than to have a contest.
The prize is a piece of my pattern welded steel. 7 inches by 0.25 by 1.25 or so, surface ground. You forgers can squeeze two blades out of one of these easy. You grinders can maybe bandsaw two blades out. The rest of you folks can find one of us to work the material. I'll even throw in the heat treatment for free if you pay the postage. Or you know you will have a very special paperweight...
The date is posted above. I've been asked to make razors and filet knives and special heat treatments.
The attendance at this event has been over 900 for a few years but never topped a 1,000. I think with enough razor interest we can help these fine folks beat their best number.
Where I will need your help is that I do not have enough of a collection to be able to do justice to how many different varieties of straights and DE's there are. And I definitely don't have enough hones to do much more than demonstrate. I could use the help of some folks with an abundance of those things for show and tell. Sales of items are permissible, so perhaps some vendors can get organized for this too.
Registration per person for the whole event is 50.00 USD.
Where will this be? The closest exact latitude and longitude wins. I'll have to look that up so give me a few minutes.
I'll add clues every 24 hours until someone gets it.Last edited by gssixgun; 06-25-2011 at 05:05 PM.

Great guess, Randy but off the mark. A good one because you know me and have had a good time there yourself.
I should give John and Carol a little boost here. Tunnel Mill Crafts There is a great gathering of like minded folks that occurs at Tunnel Mill every year the first full weekend in October.

A little too wild, but it sure looks like a nice place to visit...
