Hello everyone
I'm so glad to join ABS as a regular member.I come from China Yunnan.My name is Yi Jiang(with Chinese write like this 姜一，the literally meaning of “姜†is GINGER and “一†is ONE or first <img src=' http://www.americanbladesmith.com/ipboard/public/style_emoticons//biggrin.gi f' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' /> )，I’m 31 years old now .As a second language，my English is poor.But I think this will not make a big obstacle among us.I loved knives and made(stock remove method) them from childhood，5 years ago I forged my first knife ,it is ugly but I was still proud of it.In the past 5 years I studied much knowledge about making knives form Books and forums.ABS is a professional society with making perfect knives,I think I will get much knowledge and technique here,I am glad to share my knowledge. next season I will buy some equipment to start my new knife making career. <img src=' http://www.americanbladesmith.com/ipboard/public/style_emoticons//laugh.gi f' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' />

Yes,a friend of mine（Jason Chen） joined the ABS last year.He has been making knives for three years.We lived in the same province(Yunnan).Our dream is to learn knife making technique ã€skills and make good forged knives，and even earn the rating of Journeyman Smith and Master Smith in the ABS(I do not know whether this can be achieved ) <img src=' http://www.americanbladesmith.com/ipboard/public/style_emoticons//smile.gi f' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> .
