natenaaron Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 The ABS tends to open a big can of worms. Because of this I was hoping someone could PM me the name and contact e-mail of a nice Master smith who would not mind answering a few questions. Thanks.

Steve Sells Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Cant you go to http://www.americanbladesmith.com/ and look one up ? and why does everyone think only a master can answer their questions... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Ling Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Oh, and don't forget that it also has to be a nice master smith. Littleblacksmith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheoRockNazz Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 I'll bite; what can only be answered by and ABS Mastersmith.... "how does it feel to pass the test?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Sells Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 at my Jujitsu school there are always some people thinking they can only get taught by a Master..then we find out its a basic question any student could have helped them with makes it kind of silly. The Masters do offer private classes for $50 per hours to reduce that. But there are times the Master needs to be involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHCC Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 I don't think the ABS site lists which Masters are nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 A list of "nice" masters wouldn't be accurate, couldn't. The nicest person alive can't be nice to everybody and some people have zero ability to ask a favor politely. Of course it is nice to have warning about folk who aren't likely to help you no matter what. Still. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natenaaron Posted June 9, 2016 Author Share Posted June 9, 2016 See, can of worms. unknot your knickers, someone has contacted me with a way to get a hold of someone. None of you can answer this question because it is about the ABS and there is no information about this in their website. Yes Frosty, no one is perfect and there are some folk out there who are complete richards because there are a few letters attached to the end of their names. There are those who are kind to strangers as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 And I was one this time. I must've been in a mood to stick my paddle in someone else's interests. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must apologize Frosty, I misread your comment and replied based on that misreading. Yes you were helpful, but then again I have not noticed you being curmudgeonly lately.

matto Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Maybe want to define a master. Maybe no one answered because non consider there self a master do to always learning. He did define it when he saId ABS Master, which is the state of being rank by that group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
