Well I'm finally feeling pretty good about my test knives. Finished up this morning on the final of six knives. Not sure which but one will get benched on Friday morning. Some of em you've seen already but here are some more pictures for you to look at. I intend to get Pro pics in Atlanta but my nerves just couldn't handle shipping these things anywhere right now...

and the last one is my performance test knife.

Got another knife idea floating around in my brain and sketched out but not sure I can get it done in time. At any rate I think I'm covered now.

Thanks for looking!

Great looking line-up of test knives Doug.
See you at Blade.

A lot of you guys may not know this, but Doug went to the Blade Show in 09 prepared to take his JS test, but found out that he had not been in the ABS for the prescribed time length. I know this was a great disappointment, but Doug shrugged it off with much more class than some lesser man. I'll be there to shake your hand outside the judging room.

This your year Doug! Lin

Thanks a bunch for all the kind words guys, as y'all know there is a lot of blood, (literally) and sweat in that bunch of knives. Hope there are some buyers in ATL that like em too ;) Now just gotta keep the nerves in check for a few more weeks...
