Thanks Sally! Cool news! I wonder where all the masters and journeymen are? (not that you need more work) <img src=' http://www.americanbladesmith.com/ipboard/public/style_emoticons//smile.gi f' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />
Thank you Phil!
You can see where the Masters and Journeyman are, by going to the ABS website and looking through the lists. We have ABS members in every state except Delaware and North Dakota.

Thank you for this report. It is good to see the number of members and how they are distributed across the ratings and the world.
I also want to thank you for all the work that you do for our members both new and old. It is greatly appreciated.
