Thanks for the congrats, guys! Actually, I wasn't too worried about this part, it's Atlanta, and getting ready for it that has me stressed.

The MS was Kevin Cashen. Thanks Kevin! I enjoyed the visit.

Here's the pics I promised. Yes, I am chubby, but no, I'm not 4 feet tall like it looks in the rope cutting shots...

Cutting the rope. I couldn't find a place that sold 1" rope, but I did find 1-1/2" so that's what I used. These photos were taken from video, that's why they're so small.

Chopping the 2X4.

After the bend test:

Congrats. Cut it kinda tight, didn't you, what with Blade in less than a month? lol. It's funny that you tested with the man who is probably the single biggest iconoclast in the metal pounding biz when it comes to edge quenched, bendable blades. When you had passed, did he say something like "Congratulations........now NEVER make another knife like this as long as you live"?
