Un-Freaking Believable. Why don't my knives look that good?:grumpy: I better go back to the basement and practice some more....ok, alot more.

Fantastic job Bruce!
 
Bruce, that is wonderful man, I've never seen anything like it -- except from you of course! :cool: You blow me away with that, make a whole other dimension to what we're doing here. Zowie, thanks for creating a whole new genre for knifemakers!

Dang Bruce! Cut that out! That is one sweet knife/blackpowder combo. Wow! That nickel sure shows a nice pattern in the blade. Great work.

(By the way Bill Robertson, the taxidermist I mentioned hasn't emailed me back yet. He and his wife are notoriously bad about that. If I get half a chance at work tomorrow I'll give him a call at his shop.)
 
Bruce - unbelievable.

I remember when you first added the pic in your sig. line...

Is that your work as well?

Amazing Mr bruce!

It is work like that which keeps us humble...well me at least. Not sure about Evans:p

That is alot of work my friend you are truly talented.
 
Humble Robert? This makes me feel like a rank begginer when it comes to knives:eek:
I hope everybody likes my newest Bowie when I get the pictures posted after seeing this one of Bump's
Bruce
 
Rank Beginner!! Right. Between you Bruce , Robert
an Bump I keep asking myself Why am I doing this.
I wish I had half the skill you guys do.
 
Outstanding... I think those are among the most amazing pieces I have ever seen. Has anyone ever fired one?
