JS presentation knives
« on: February 08, 2022, 08:57:28 AM »
A pro photo of my 2021 JS presentation knives.  I tested in Atlanta along with Thad Stager (who I met on Trad Gang many years ago). We went through this JS process together and it was a great experience.

That's a great set of knives. (And I've seen a few!)
You provided exactly what was needed.
I was over in the Master Smith room..................failing.
Funny how there have been quite a few ABS rated "smiths" come through Trad Gang - me, Doug Campbell, Lin Rhea, and I'm sure there are a few more whose names escape me right now.
Congratulations. :clapper:

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.

Thank you all - the Trad Gang knife forum is what got me in to all this stuff along with meeting others on this forum who were in a similar spot in the learning curve as me.

Hi Jeff, yes they were presented in June 2021 - right along side my buddy Thad Stager.  Thad won the Joe Keesler award that day for best JS knife presented!
