Scott finished two more JS test knives this past week - a Texas size bowie we're calling The Alamo and a tried and true Zulu. Both were forged from W2, dressed in desert ironwood, and given clay hamons.

Scott's still working on a couple more, but the tension level has gone down drastically now that he has five knives under his belt . . . although the butterflies have increased:)

To see all five he's completed so far you can visit The Road to San Antonio. Hopefully I'll have at least one more knife to photo next week and then we'll decide which five make the cut for journeyman testing.

Let us know what you think, and thanks for looking!

Scott,

These knives are really looking good. I'm looking very much forward to seeing your JS group, and you in San Antonio.

I like BOTH of them too! The Alamo just looks CLEAN and BADASS, and the Zulu has a great profile and hamon. The ironwood looks awesome on both of them.

Stating the very obvious, I suppose, but these would make a killer matched set.

Love them both, but The Alamo is the She-it!

I'm thinking you will do very well in San Antonio!

Scott they are both very nice but that big bowie has some great lines I will need to get my paw print on that one.
 
Great work. It's cool that your going to be one the first guys to ever test for your JS at the ABS' own show. Looks like you've got a great shot at being a JS.
