Well here she is my J.S. performance blade. it is forged out of 5160. the handle is wrapped with plastic twine string and then covered with rubber dielectric tape feels really good in the hand. I made two did the performance test myself today seemed to perform really well now lets keep our fingers crossed for this weekend i will be doing the performance test at Josh Smiths at the hammerin this friday.

The very best of luck to you Erik.
Wish I were going to be there to see you ace it. :thumbup:
 
Thanks Kevin, I am starting to get a bit nervous, but i am sure not as bad as i will be waiting outside the room at BLADE next year.
 
Good luck Erik! Not a doubt in my mind. When are you going to do the test? Are you going for it in front of the whole crowd, or more privately? I feel right along with you....stepping up to that rope for both my JS and MS were about a nervous as I've ever been.....and both those times where were only a couple of people present.

You'll be fine Erik.........

Being nervous is just a sign that you care..
you've done your homework, have faith:)
 
I'm excited for you to get this part done Erik! I'm sure you'll pass with flying colors! :D

I am laughing a little that you took the time to hand sand the blade, but then did the twine and tape handle :p ;) :D

See you soon buddy :D
