Beauty and the Beast...A tale of two Bruces and a man named Robert

RobertHankins · Apr 11, 2003

Just had to show off this pic of Bruce Evans and Bruce Bump's collaboration piece in this months issue of Blade Magazine (Page 107 June 2003) along with my latest "Nasty Little Beast" big brother.
Excellant work you two you should be very proud!

That's definitely a contrast, but bet little beast is as functional as the other one is pretty.

And hope you keep making them, as I pointed users on another board your way when they were asking for that style of knife.

Boy talk about contrast! Thats so ugly that it's beutiful! Nice work Robert, how bout' some specs?

Robert,

Is the NLB replacing the Moxie as your signature blade style? That thing is cool.

Nice piece Robert! That thing should generate alot of interest with the tactical folks.

Looks like the knife used in the movie "The Hunted"
nice grind lines

Specs on this one are:
OAL 11 7/8"
Steel is 1/4" 5160
Scales are G10
NS pins
Hollow grind
Custom HD Kydex sheath

This will not be replacing the Moxie it is also a beast to make! I will be moving toward the "Black Velvet" style Blade I have in the June issue of Blade Magazine as mt signature style.

Thanks for the kind words!
