Hello everyone,my name is Calvin Robinson and I joined the ABS last year at the ICCE show. After meeting and talking to and looking at the knives of many of the ABS members there I decided I wanted to be a member of this great organization. I've never forged a knife but I know a little about making them. I like to make slipjoints most of all but I also make lock backs ,after much help from Craig Brewer,and I make liner locks also. I've been a member of The Knifemakers Guild since 2009 and am on the Board of Directors,I'm in charge of membership for the Guild.
I'm sorry it took me so long to introduce myself here but I'm an old man and I don't get around as much as I used to. Anyway,thanks for having me,I hope to be around for a while.

Welcome to the ABS and Forum Mr. Robinson.
Hello Calvin
And welcome.
Anthony Griggs
Thank you all for the warm welcome.
I just realized ,under my name at the left of my post I have the rating of Master Smith. I don't know how I advanced so far in such a short period of time. The powers that be may want to check into this and bust me back down to the proper rank. <img src=' http://www.americanbladesmith.com/ipboard/public/style_emoticons//biggrin.gi f' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' />
Note:
I took care of the change for you this morning, Calvin. Welcome to the ABS Forum! It is great to have you on board.

Thanks Scott. We should get together at Little Rock if not before. I've been teaching two aspiring Knifemakers that live in the panhandle,one from Panama City,one from Crestview. It might be time to start having a hammer in.
