Special guests at the festival will include History Channel's Forged in Fire judge and edged weapons combat specialist Doug Marcaida and Forged in Fire judge and Mastersmith James Neilson. Marcaida and Neilson will judge a Bowie Knife cutting competition, facilitate a workshop and conduct demonstrations.
Three former Forged in Fire champions will participate in the festival: Ricardo Vilar of Nashville, Shawn Ellis of Mountain View, and Allen Newberry of Lowell. Many other reputable bladesmiths will also be on hand, showcasing their knives and telling the stories behind each blade.
