Congratulations, Allen. Good job!

Thanks! I am quite excited to have passed the test especially since I was able to do with several of my Central Arkansas knife friends present. Jerry Petty had the rope all set up and ready before I even got there and I was thrilled to have Lin Rhea overseeing the test.
Great news! Got any pix of the knife? What next?
Congratulations, Allen. Great job!
Congratulations Allen.
+1 on Phil's request for more pictures of your test blade, it appears to have a unique blade shape.

I have yet to photograph the knife post bend and the only photos I have of the knife pre-bend are before I added a lanyard hole. But here she is:
Again great job Allen and congratulations. I though that looked like a different blade style. I bet it bent good with that hardening line. Is the steel 5160?
Good stuff.

Congrats Allen. Good job. I bet there isn't a better feeling in the world other than maybe doing that with a Damascus blade for an MS test.
Thanks! It is some of Aldo's 5160.
Congrats Allen!
