I apologize as I probably placed this in the incorrect forum but does anyone know if there exists an equivalent of Master Designation in countries such as Japan, Germany, Sweden, etc. ?
How are bladesmiths deemed as mastersmiths in Japan for example?
I have found a list of all American Bladesmith Society mastersmiths here:

I am wondering if there is any international equivalent to this certification elsewhere?
