Hi Guys,
I will be going for my JS at this years show in Atlanta. I hope to see many of you there.
At dinner tonight I told my wife and son that I was going to go over my test knives again. My son just smiled and shook his head.
Who else is going for they JS this year?
 
Good Luck Dave!

Have you had your blades reviewed/critiqued by any MS? I mention that because I believe that is imperative.

I'll be there on Friday morning to support everyone testing.
 
Good luck, Dave. If the one I've got is any indication you'll do fine.
 
Gentlemen, please forgive me for asking, but what is a J/S & M/S ? I am new to the world of custom knives & knife making, but like a little kid in the proverbial candy store.
Thanks for your help, sorry to be a pain . . .
Be safe.

fluidsteel, thank you for the attached link and for the explanation, looks like I have some interesting reading & research to do this afternoon.
And loussharp1, good luck to you as well with your testing, hope everything goes great.
Be safe.
 
Thanks Guys,
I am looking forward to meeting you all.
I have had some knives checked out buy a couple of MS. But every knife I try to make a better one than the 5 I have already.
Any other prospective JS going?
 
Dave,

Good luck on testing !

I won't be presenting this year but I'm very seriously considering arranging a performance test while there this year.

I'm confident I can make a test knife that'll pass with flying colors just EXTRA nervous about testing at the show.

Again good luck with presenting ! I'm looking forward to seeing all the presentation knives I can lay my eyes on and hanging out in the ABS section for most of the weekend so I'm sure we'll get a chance to meet at the show.

Dave I wish you luck and look forward to meeting you at Atlanta. I am glad that you have had some knives checked out. I also applaud your effort to make every knife better than the one before it. That is the right way to look at it.
Good luck and I will see you in Atlanta.
