I was honored to have officiated Kurt's test on the 28th. He passed with flying colors. His blade sprang back nicely as well. He came to me with all the required materials showing proper planning and forethought and was exemplary all the way. Pictures later.
Congratulations my friend!
This is a photo slide show of the performance testing.

Although the series of shots are cool the photographer missed a couple of shots there at the end of the flex. I assure you he went a full 90 degrees. Short of a video, I thought a slide show would portray some of the pucker factor.
That photographer is Rick McFarland of the big newspaper in Arkansas. He has always been supportive and interested in the art and craft of knife making and is eager to give us all the public exposure possible. Thanks Rick.

What a great test! Had a laugh at the " pucker factor " Having just recently done my test I know only to well that feeling. Congrats Kurt!
