Looks like you nailed it Bruce, in fact the only discrepancy is that yours looks cleaner than the original

 

[RobertHankins]

That is one Damn fine blade Mr Bruce!
Your work keeps getting better and better

 

[Bruce Evans]

Thanks for the great comments everybody.
Bruce

 

[Bruce Bump]

Bruce I was speechless at first but after looking again I see several things you need to work on: The guard is too shiney, blade is too pointed, ebony is too sanded and black, ricasso is rounded, and I cant believe you didnt notice the pins are still sticking up dommed looking. Donna is lookin nice though, You did do something right when you married her.

 

[Sylvester]

Bump now that`s funny

 

[Bruce Bump]

So Im right arent I? I bet you all can find things wrong with this one too. How about the balls on the guard, Isnt one bigger than the other?

 

[Sylvester]

Bump if one is bigger then the other
then it must be a female knife D`oh

 

[rlinger]

I am not a big BIG knife fan but I sure do love pretty ladys and you nailed that one. Very pretty.

The ability to duplicate any type or style of knife shows a mastery of a knife makers skill. I am sure this is not word for word and I Don't know where I read this. I believe it's a quote about the skills to become an ABS Master Smith.

Bruce you exemplify the type of knife makers that is a true artist and your true concern for your fellow knifemakers really make this a great place to learn.

Thanks for sharing your talent.

Oh yea, beautiful knife.

 

[Dan Gray]

Very nice Bruce.. I love your backgounds..

:footinmou
Pete should like the Joseph Rodgers repro very much.

 

[Bruce Evans]

Thanks Everybody...I also Agree that Donna makes a great Background for my knives
"OUCH"What can I say Bruce,I will try harder next time..
Maybe someday I will become a Knife Maker Yet

[patternweld]

Very nice, as always, Mr. Bruce!

 

[Bruce Bump]

You are getting there Bruce. Just be sure to measure your balls next time.

 

[Bruce Evans]

Guess it is time to learn how to read the calipers that Donna got me for Christmas.

 

[Blue Sky]

Well done Bruce. You're truly an artist and you've shown us once again.

 

[Bruce Evans]

Thanks everybody..
