If there is such a thing: Beyond outstanding. The fourth one down is my kind of knife. Absolutely super and now I have no idea what it must take to get the 'MS'. If these aren't it what could it be!

Thanks Roger..
Now I just have to put in a lot more hard work and fret over the small details that I let slip on these,Trust me to get the "MS" Stamp they want them almost Perfect,since no one makes a perfect knife they want them that close:eek: :D :eek:
But I ain't backing down from this challenge now.I know what I have to do and plan on taking the time to do it(Got 2 years now)

They are all Outstanding Sir, you call see all the
hard work you put in them. Job well done. My pick
is the Top one but I like them all
 
Bruce and Donna, It's hard to find words to describe those great knives. I would expect those to come from older makers, in some respects. You got game! We are seeing some great work coming from young makers nowdays, and it does the heart good! The future looks very bright for the knife world.
 
Bruce,

Great job! Your knives will be even better in a couple of years but I don't think your work is too far off the "MS" mark even now. Nice photos, my favorite is still the spearpoint bowie.

They are fantastic Bruce. I got to see all these in person and even though the pictures are good they look better in the hand.

From what Bruce says he is going to keep the dog bone bowie and display it at the American Bladesmith Society Museum. You and all can pay admission and see it first hand. I think Donna has laid claim to it after that.

If it wernt for these levels of accomplishment we would rarely see 5 of the artists best works all at one time. I believe its a good thing that the ABS requires it. What a beautiful sight Bruce!

You all think this is good stuff? Just wait 2 years!! Go Bruce Go!!
 
Goodness sakes Bruce!

You said you were going to go overboard on your JS knifes, but common!

These knives are outrageous. They aren't part of the destruction testing are they? ;) If so I'm starting a new organization: PETKA - People for the Ethical Treatment of Knives Aye.

Bruce,

You know, It's guys like you that make things more difficult for guys like me! I haven't tested for my JS stamp yet and you just pushed the bar up about 10 feet with those knives. THANKS A LOT!!!!;)

Bruce,
In your case I still think you could skip the JS and be a MS. Just my feelings since I think you've been there for a while already. Ray
 
Bruce,
You get an A.
Excellent work.
You have started into the ranks of some of the worlds best knife makers (ABS). Congrats.
You should fit right in.

Great work.
