This is another Big Rick bowie. Man that guy is a collector of bowies.
We've been working on this one together for several months off and on. The blade is 10 3/4" and oal is 15 3/4"
Mosaic accodian damascus, Amber dyed Sambar Stag, Jere Davidson engraving, Doug Turnbull charcoal bluing, 24 ct gold plated nugget spacer and Paul Long pants.

Thanks for looking

dang, I have over 7000 pictures on the internet and photobucket has to change things. Does anybody know what the hell I'm doing wrong?

Bruce,

Either click on the image you want, and over to the right you'll find a box with 'Image links", click on "IMG code" and it'll copy, go to the forum post and hit "command V"

--or put the cursor on the the upper right corner of the small image, a wheel will come up,and then a drop-down box, click on "get links" and another box will come up, click on "IMG Code"

I'm just having to get used to the new Photobucket,. It's designed to be friendly to facebook, etc, and has extra steps for us forum guys,

Meanwhile, here's a shot of your absolute beauty.

Wow, Bruce, that is stunning! But we could expect that out of you. Don't feel bad about technology...they call me young Ben, and I'm a cat-in-the-rainbarrel with it.
 
Bruce,

That's a stunner, is right. Jere's engraving with Turnbull's bluing really pops.

Paul's sheath is perfect, as always.

The Bump style and execution is really on display here.

What a package!

P.S. They change everything around ever so often just to befuddle us old guys.
 
WOW Bruce!
I love that damascus.
Super nice knife and Paul did a great job matching the sheath to the knife.
I think I am just stating the obvious, but OOOOH Baby that knife looks good!
 
Classic Bruce Bump! I just love it.

I read the thread title and waited a little to click on it, taking time to calm myself for the big reveal.
Then click and BAM! Just stared at it for a little while, taking it all in and enjoying every second. :thumbup:
Thanks for the experience Bruce! :D
 
Man Bruce Thats is one very nice bowie I just love the gold nuggets and the amber stag is working way cool
 
Wow!

Spectacular piece! Very nice damascus, beautiful stag.

The sheath is very nice as well.

Kind regards,

Jos
 
You didn't JUST knock that puppy out of the park Bruce...it ended up somewhere in orbit man! I'm loving that nugget spacer, it's a REALLY cool touch:thumbup:

I hate to ask for more Bruce but you wouldn't happen to have a picture of it disassembled?

Yes.... please, please, please.


Throw(well, maybe not "throw") this bowie on a table with 20 other's by different makers and I'd recognize it as a Bruce Bump from across the room.
That's an amazing piece of craftsmanship Bruce. There's sooooo much to admire about it, but for me its the smooth flowing lines of your guard..... graceful, elegant, and strong.

Wonderful!!

Will see if I can work the "new and improved" photobucket.
 
Bruce,
I really can't add much to the comments, I'm not a "big" knife guy and I love this knife. Nuff said,

More Bump excellence. Really outstanding Bruce.

Thanks also to Big Rick for continuing to sponsor such craftsmanship and allowing us
to enjoy it along with him.
 
Another fine Bowie Bruce. I especially like the steel pattern and don't think I've ever seen any of Jere's engraving I didn't like.
Not a fan of the charcoal bluing though. :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
