At Blade Show in Atlanta one of the big events is the annual Awards Dinner.
For those not tracking this is the largest knife show in the world, it's like SHOT Show for the knife and tool industry only.
That said, a huge well deserved congratulations for one of professionalsoldiers own, knifemaker Kit Carson for being named into the Knifemakers Hall of Fame last night!
This is a lifetime achievement award given out to only one person per year.
Way to go Kit!

Chris Reeve Knives won "highest quality manufacturer in the industry award" ...again. I think they should just make Chris Reeve ineligible and call it the Chris Reeve Award, he's won that so many times. ;)
Ken Onion, (friend of mine and many others) for Best Imported Knife of the Year! Way to go ken!
Most Innovative American Design, Spyderco for the Autonomy folding knife. Well done Sal! I want to see that knife too.
If I have made any errors or omissions, please advise.
*Kit Carson is the first member of professionalsoldiers inducted in the Knifemaking Hall of Fame but not the first soldier. Kit is preceded by at least Al Mar and Col. Rex Applegate.
Kit says drinks are on him. :D
