How About A Bruce Bump Blade Gallery

[Bruce Bump]

Nice Bruce!

If you wouldn't mind saying, how does the curved-center feather pattern happen?

Mike

Hi Mike,
Its from grinding alternating half moons from both sides of a feather bar or blade and re-straightening it. Isnt it cool?

That is an absolutely ingenious way of altering the pattern to give it a whole new look.

I am very impressed!!

Both sets are just mind blowing, Bruce!

Bruce, we're honored to have gotten to watch you build the Newell Set. That was one of the greatest experiences I've ever had, and it's one of those threads I'll go back to for years. Utterly mind blowing and inspirational!

The next bowie is a wonder too, and Paul Long does some fantastic leatherwork. He's another inspiration for me, I can look at his work for hours trying to understand why it's so compelling. Beautiful lines on every sheath.

I'm so lucky to get to see this stuff! 2thumbs I just want to tell everyone.

 

[Ironwolf]

Darn you Bruce!
I wish you would just quit creating such incredible works of art!!!







...I'm running out of adjectives!

 

[Bruce Bump]
