For those of you not yet aware, the joint Guild and ABS ICCE Show in Kansas City had to find a new venue, in the process new opportunities and plans have arisen for the ABS and one was an invitation to join with Jerry Moen for a new show in Fort Worth Texas. This new ICCE show, while not co-produced with the Guild is instead fully endorsed by the ABS and will offer many of the same opportunities for ABS members, at this time we are still exploring the Journeyman and Master judging and will keep you apprised of any information. The reason why we can offer other activities more easily than the Judging is not for want for trying, we would love to have that opportunity available, but in order to do it we need a large enough pool of qualified judges to be present at an event. The Journeyman and Mastersmith judging is the ABS's most solemn program that we will make no compromises in ensuring that it is held to the highest possible standards.
The new ICCE Show will be at the Stockyard Station in the Stampede Room. The dates are March 29-30, 2019. The address is 140 E Exchange Ave. Fort Worth TX. 76164. For registration and information contact Jerry Moen at [email protected]..

It would be great to hear when the testing is going to be as soon as you all can figure it out. I had planned on testing on September at the ICCE show this year and need to re-plan family and work/vacation time if there needs to be travel, etc.

Well, I sold everything in my inventory in the last two months except for 1 knife. There's no way I would have any inventory for a show in March. Bummer. I was really planning on changing my elk hunt dates this year so I could go to KC in September. I guess I'll have to try and crank out something and go to Atlanta in June......unless the boss plans a vacation in June (again).
