SWAT Tactical by Michael Bump

[Bruce Bump]

My son Mike made this one. I think its one of the best he has made. What is cool is he has only made knives for about a year.

It has CPM S30V, olive drab canvas micarta and Paul Bos heat treatment. I like his leather sheath too.

That is some very nice work Mike and Bruce:thumbup:!Who taught you Mike?

 

[T.K.C.]

That is a great looking knife!! Your son did an amazing job!!

 

[BluenoseWest]

Very Nice. I really like the Olive Drab Micarta, haven't seen a lot of that before.

HI you two, that knife and sheath are first class. How do you make the little cut outs ? Mill? Wire EDM? Mark.

 

[Bigfattyt]

I really like the knife.


Bruce, On a side note, I think you would be the coolest dad on the planet. How many guy's dads can make knives, or.........build a knife/gun combo, or battle axe gun combo.

I was born and raised in Moses Lake, but live in Spokane now.

Hi Mark, We had Crucible drop ship the steel to David at Great Lakes Waterjet. The tang is skeletonized also. For a big knife it is balanced nicely.
Thanks for the question,
Bruce

I really might have to make a run down there. My wife thinks Walla Walla Washington is the coolest name of any town. She thinks it would be a great place to live.

I saw a Daffy Duck cartoon once that mentioned Walla Walla Washington.

The house next door is for sale. Its bank owned and going up for auction. Make a bid, maybe we can be neighbors.
