Bruce, you make me sick. I've burned up enough steel in the last week, to build a radio tower. I still haven't come up with the first good piece of damascus. You spit out some of the best looking knives without blinking an eye.
Nice knife.

Drool, drool... Oh, wait... that's my knife.

Amazing how Bruce transformed a fantasy on a piece of paper to an actual dream. It's been such a great time working with Bruce on some of the styles of knives that please my taste.

All this overtime work, well here's the reward.

Geez, I think sing has bought more knives from you in the past several months than I have sold to all of my customers.... that's awesome.

That knife is yet another display or proof for my new theory...I hate you Bruce

I love that. Just between that knife and the chain damascus Bowie, sing has got to be a happy customer!

So when can I come over to your shop Bruce? It might be a little bit of a drive...but I'd figure out a way

Bruce, you've made me one damascus hungry fool! Beautiful knife! Is the wood grain achieved with a relatively low layer count and by grinding the bevel?

You are one amazing knife maker Bruce!!!

------------------
Take care!! Michael

Always think of your fellow knife makers as partners in the search for the perfect blade, not as people trying to compete with you and your work!

Bruce here I am late as usual. Damn nice work. When can I make wood turn into steel or is it the other way around? Love those knives. Cory

Cory,I believe to do that you first need to burn the wood and make charcoal from it then add a few other elements with it like iron or and a few other things then smelt all this together and you will end up with what is called wootz steel then you just have to work this into a blade and then you have turned wood into steel

for more on that look in the archives as I don't know the exact method "YET"
