Nice Job Russ, :thumbup:. Are you doing the judging tests this year or next?
I'd sure like to see some pictures of your judging knives. Are you coming to Corbins next weekend?

Don, how in the heck do you ever find anything in that organized shop. I cleaned mine yerterday evening and it took me 2 hours to find that folder I've been working on this morning. I swear, at least when the shop is a mess I know what I'm needing is close when I start looking for it.

Gig, hidden tang knife for MS, is to show you can design, build and heat treat a hidden tang that will pass the test. It's easier done with a full tang.

Interesting. Thanks, Don.

Congratulations Russ.

I was drooling at all that steel piled up in the rope cutting picture backgrounds.
