The date for the 2013 Blade Show in Atlanta is May 31-June 2, 2013. Please mark the dates on your calendar.

In the weeks before the 2013 Blade Show, schedule and information updates will be posted as it becomes available. I have the latest available information posted on the ABS Website at, Click: 2013 Blade Show

There will be an ABS Awards Ceremony on Friday, May 31, 2013 immediately after the Blade Show closes for the day from 7 to 8pm in Room# 103 of the Galleria (same room as JS Judging and the ABS Knife Auction). Please join us to honor our new Journeyman, Master Smiths, and other award recipients. The Blade Show is providing this room to us at no charge and it will be in place of the banquet which has become very expensive for our members. We encourage everyone to attend to honor the new Master Smiths, Journeyman Smiths, and other award recipients. There is no charge for this event.

You may not be aware of this, so I thought that I would tell you about it. The Blade Show Staff provides many facilities to the ABS at the Blade Show in Atlanta at no cost to the American Bladesmith Society. The facilities provided at no cost to the ABS are the rooms for Master Smith and Journeyman Smith Judging, ABS Knife Auction, ABS Awards Ceremony, and the ABS table in the front row at 1P. In addition, the Blade Show Staff provides special tester exhibitor tables in the show hall at half price to ABS members that are submitting their knives to the JS and MS Judging Panels.

A BIG thank you to the Blade Show Staff!
