That's pretty dang cool Bruce. That inlay thing seems like it'd be pretty versatile, and I could see myself trying something like it with African Blackwood or ivory or something. May have to give that a go soon :).
 
Wow just WOW. Bruce sure does make the most awesome Bowie knives in the whole world.

Almost forgot to say great job by Jere, Claude and Caleb
 
Very nice work all around. I like the contrast of the leather, steel and engraving. Great photo too Caleb.
 
speechless!
 
Interesting concept exceptionally well executed. I particularly like the very controlled Damascus and the pointy blade profile. The detail shown in the images is amazing and Claude's leatherwork is a great finishing touch.
 
I had the pleasure of examining this one at the ICCE. It was one of my favorite knives of the show.

Thanks for sharing the picture.
 
If I had to choose one element of the knife that I liked the most, it would have to be the guard. It flows very well with the overall design of the knife.
 
Very nice Bruce tooled leather in the handle I bet that feels great in the hand and nice work on your end Caleb.
 
Amazing as always Bruce. :thumbup:
I never saw knives with that type of leather inlay on the handle. Now you got the wheels in my head turning.
 
Absolutely fantastic. Like Patrice, I have not seen this type of handle inlay before. Bravo.
