The biggest event of the day was the Arkansas Knife Cutting Championship which began at 2:00 p.m with 11 knife-makers putting their Bowie Knives through their paces. The contest required each knife-maker to chop a two by four piece of plywood in two, cut the end of a dangling rope off into a bucket below, slice a shotgun shell perched on a wooden surface, slice a playing card, slice apart a much stronger rope and then slice apart three full bottles of Gatorade.
