Thanks, those have been posted 'below'....would you have a list of ABS Journeyman stamps?
 
Don't have names but 2 of 2 earned MS and 5 of 7 earned JS. We (I assisted Coop all weekend) shot 4 of the 5 JS five-knife sets and they were all very high-level. Some went well beyond minimum JS requirements - a significant risk since a flawed reach that way can result in not passing. ABS JS requirements haven't changed but candidates themselves have been raising the bar on their own. Not all passing JS candidates received unanimous votes by the judges, BTW.
 
Thanks!!!!

Wow, I'm sure you guys never got a break for days!!!
 
Where do I find pics of the knives? The custom winners don't seem to be on Blade's website.
 
don't worry - I'm sure Coop is feverishly processing all his images and will have them up here ASAP

Having handled a couple of knives that passed the JS test in the mid to late 90's I can tell you that the standards/requirements for JS have change DRASTICALLY. A lot of that happened in the middle of the last decade.
