Bruce, Nice to see you finally doing something. I guess you just got to make them MS grade knives now and this one shows it. Thats some of the whitest ivory I've seen. BG finally got one of my hawks up, it took for ever.
 
Sorry guys this looks like an advertisment. BG is my outlet actually. They do a great job and now have a store front in Seattle.
 
Very, Very Nice Bruce. How did you get such an even layer around the cutting edge with the 1075, that sucker is as straight as a string against the damascus. Again Nicely done.

Mercy!! Always good to have someone great to look up to. RL

Wait a minute!!!! What - NO TRIGGER?????
 
Way to cool Bruce:cool: :cool:

You are getting better and better at this knifemaking business,Who cares if you are being slow.Man look at what you make when you take your time:D

I bet he has another pistol on the drawing board now;)

Again Very Classy Bowie.
Bruce
 
Thanks Guys for the kind comments and to whoever posted the pic from BG. Sorry this one doesnt have a trigger or barrel. I know it looks like its missing something to me too. Dont worry the next one will have a trigger, barrel and hawk head. Im thinking a full 3/4" bore would be a smoker!
 
Heavens Bruce, you make me happy! That's the kind of knife that just makes you feel good to look at it. Is the color truly brown the way it looks on my screen? That blade looks so light and lively, that must just feel like part of your arm when you hold it. Please excuse me while I go look at the other pics now. Thanks a million Bruce, that's truly fantastic.

Chris the OAL is 14.25" with a 9.5" blade. The balance point is right at the index finger.

Dave, There is browns greens silvers and blues in this bad girl.
 
Bruce, Went and took a closer look at it today. This really is a nice piece of work.... I like what you did with the blind pins and that damascus is really something else. I'd like to see the next one somewhat sooner...:D
 
What a beautiful mosaic blade; not just the mosaic, but the shape as well. Is the swedge sharpened?

Elephant ivory is starting to really appeal to me and it sure works on this knife. What kind of sheath is going with it, or is it going in a presentation box?
