Let the fun begin.....
« on: July 03, 2011, 03:00:00 PM »
Not sure exactly when it will happen, but I decided it was time to get on the path to MS.
Here is the billet for my Master Smith Performance Test knives.
Wish me luck.

 


 
When the last deer disappears into the morning mist,
When the last elk vanishes from the hills,
When the last buffalo falls on the plains,
I will hunt mice for I am a hunter and I must have my freedom.

Karl as far as I'm concerned you already there!  The rest is just formality!
Are you going to be judged in Texas?

Your a great source of information here and are appreciated!

It will be fun watching this thread to see what you make to pass the test and your presentation blades.

Karl,

 have every confidence that you will succeed. In my books you are already a master, but the actual title really means a lot, as guys like Lin can attest to. Best to you in this endeavor!
