JS Test - Pictures
Last Friday morning (9-18) I went up to M.S. Burt Foster's shop to take my journeyman smith performance test.
for those who aren't familiar the test involves cutting a free hanging 1" Manila rope, chopping through a 2x4 twice and still being able to shave. then the knife is placed in a vise and bent 90 degrees and cannot break I am happy to say that my knife performed flawlessly and I look forward to presenting my knives at Blade 2010 unfortunately I don't have a picture of the Rope cut. This is the knife prior to taking the test 9 1/2" 1084 5" unknown hardwood handle ![]() Chopping through the 2x4 for the second time ![]() Burt checking the quality of the edge after all of the cutting ![]() Bending the knife to 90 degrees ![]() BIG grin ![]() |
