What can I say but Very Nice Bubba

What, no pistol knives? Totally awsome! That quilion dagger realy is fit for a king with the crowned gaurd and pommel.

 

[golok]

Your MS is well earned, Bruce.

 

[indian george]

Outstanding. Done good Bubba

 

[ddavelarsen]

He he he !!!

I got to hold them! Well, most of em anyway. You cannot believe how incredible they are in person. Made my heart pound. Bruce took that beautiful dagger apart for me and told me how he made each piece. It still makes me feel lucky, oh my, lucky me!

And yeah Bruce - where is that pistol knife? Already delivered it to some lucky soul I bet.

Bruce those are great photos, those guys do great work. Thanks for sharing again!

Those are absolutely stunning, especially the quillion dagger and the long spearpoint Bowie/fighter.

What is the Damascus in that one? The contrast looked really bright.

 

[southriv]

Whoa! those are gorgeous -every single one. I trust the judging session was brief.

Wow! Bruce Outstanding!!!!! Congratulations Again!!!!

 

[Tom Militano]

That dagger in the middle just kind of jumped out at me. All of them are first rate. The grind on the bottom knife is a winner too. Congratulations on your MS.

Absolutely beautiful Bruce, and those two new letters after your name were no surprise from your past work, but these knives just prove it more.

 

[Bill_H]

Awesome knives, Bruce. I just saw your JS test knives in last month's Blade and now to see these! Wow, I'm sure you passed the judging easily. Congrats.

 

[Ripper]

WW! What a beautiful group of knives.
Congrats are in order here.
Regards,
Greg

One of my scores at Blade. Great, great knife, with a very clean and refined pattern, and a superb balance, both visually and in weight (balanced right behind the guard). The pics can't show the amount of work that went into those knives. For example, each branch of the guard on this dagger tappers gracefully! The little ring knife is impressive too for its complex T-back grind.

I was there when he took the quillion dagger apart too
sweet as are the others..

Bruce,
Absolutely incredible work! I think the dagger rivals Ed Caffreys that he made for his MS. The damascus you use for each knife is beautiful! I especially like the knife that has the "Ed Fowler" style guard on it!
What kind of belt grinder do you use on your knives? I am looking for one. Do you wear didymium glasses when forging? Any help you could give would be appreciated. Anyone would be very blessed if they could do work half as good as you!
Sincerely
Luke
P.s. Please tell us how you made the damscus for each knife(generally, don't want to let out trade secrets!) How did you make the "candle holder" guard on the dagger, if you know what I mean?
