SHOWMANSHIP!!!
... so, it's all very simple, if you want to learn to do battle with a vise,... go see the ABS. If you want to learn to shave your arse, split toads and coil blades, come see me.

Now hold on a sec here....
THEY TELL YOU HOW TO PASS THE TEST??!! That is NOT a TEST then, all this shows is if you know how to follow instructions. It's like giving someone the answers before the exam.. Tai: On your goat smelling hairy arse... I agree about the flex..there's a place for flex, and a place for ridgidity...but I don't see what that has to do with your hirsuite heinnie!!

Forging a blade that has been fully quenched and differentialy tempered I think takes a bit more skill than the basic soft back edge quench......but everyone (eventualy) was still capable of making a blade that passed....I dont think it is fair to take that achievement away from someone who worked hard to achieve it.... It IS a very basic test (to many)...BUT, many testing for the JS (and I presume MS) still fail this part.....even though they may have known the formulae? Its like the rope cutting test (or throwing a rope up in the air and cutting it as it falls)........a LOT of it is to do with technique (even though they may know the theory).......Is that a fair test of the blade or is it a test of the user.......or both? The ABS tests may not be the most ideal tests that could be done...they will always be open to criticism......as will most tests....but its a start?

..just funn'n!
JPH, sure miss running into you at the shows, way back when. I haven't been to any for years. It's kinda cool being able to goof around like this now. I knew our paths would one day cross again. ...( I've never argued with JPH.)

Well all
Sounds like yet another "boy's group" to me...and even if I didn't have the objections that I do have in ref to the ABS I still wouldn't be interested as it has nothing to offer me in return for my time/money and other stuff. Tai: I haven't done a knife show per sey since my dear friend Bob Engnath died, oh how I loved that man..he and his wonderful wife Stevie.. They are Godparents to my three children. Talk about someone who was the salt of the Earth! THAT was Bob E. I just lost interest in doing shows when he passed on. We use to get into alot of "trouble" at shows....I would usually sell out easrly in the show and then spend the rest of the time signing books and hassling Bob... Ya know Tai, if'n ya all ever gte up this way, drop on by, we can spend some time blowing up the desert with either my Gatling Gun or my 9# cannon and then re-lax in the C-ment pond....
