Maybe some tiger-eye studs......hehehe:)? BTW: that new stock material is stunning! Can't wait to see it in person :). Dana

Hey gang! It's been a long time coming but I finally got a rudimentary website set up (still working on it) via VistaPrint. It's not pretty but has, at least, some of examples of what I do. Any suggestions for improvement would be welcome. here's the link: HackneyCustomKnives.com...

J, That's a real beaut. I love that blade shape and size and the black g-10 spacer in between the bronze....classy piece. Dana

Awesome work, Roger! That is some very fine craftsmanship and the wood is beautiful. Bruce, hurry up with that dragon deally-bob. That sneak-peak has all our attention now and we probably won't be able to sleep tonight :). Dana

Thanks Keith and Laurence! Kind regards, Dana

Beautiful! Amazing work, as always, Bruce! You'd think you owned a fancy Bridgeport Mill and a high dollar lathe from the looks of that work! I love that damascus pattern, a lot, and really like that scalloped flange (or whatever you call it)...truly fantastic. Dana

Hi gang! I think this might be my first post of some pics. I retired in April and finally passed my JS test in Atlanta and have been busy making knives since. Here's a couple of pics of a trio for a friend and his two sons. They all wanted damascus with buckeye burl handles. I also threw in...

My gosh! Who is that dude in the last picture? Is that my good buddy Bruce Bump?! Pretty soon you're going to have to braid that lock of whiskers to keep it out of the way when you grind and forge! Say, that unit is coming right along. I can't wait to see the carved hammer mechanism :). Dana

MANY thanks Bruce! We got to meet some of the folks that frequent this forum. It was fantastic! Your best buddy, Steve Janik, dropped by and showed us the coolest album of your collaboration bowie that he did with you......wow! Steve let me keep the book at our table for a while and we got to...

Hi Jim! Boy, you don't require much sleep, do you? I know you said you wouldn't be home till early a.m.! I still feel like I'm half asleep and that's after a good 8 hours of sack time. I cannot tell you how wonderful it was to see you and Bev, Steve Kelly, Sally Cassidy outside the door...

Hi Josh! Whew! Finally got rested up a bit and am in the midst of packing for our trip to Jim Clow's hammer-in. It's going to be a blast, I know! Thanks, Josh, for taking the time to visit Sandy and I. It was a real pleasure visiting with you too, and thanks for the kind words! When you...

Wow! wow! wow! What else can one say, Bruce!!!! Dana:what!:

That a beauty, Bill! Bruce has been bragging on you to me and I can see why. That is one sweet knife. Your plunge cuts are wonderful and your blade finish is superb. Maybe I need to pay Bruce another visit and get some more tutoring! Bruce is a good professor :) Dana

I knew I'd get a rise.... out of this one :). It'll be nice once you graduate from Mines and you can follow your true calling in life...and, as Bruce would say....hehehe:). Take care buddy, Dana

Yeah, what a great find, indeed! I can't wait till Graham get's the H-frame press done. It's gonna be a really nice addition to my shop. I have just the place for it in my garage:). Dana

I flattered guys! Hey Bruce(s),Shane and all! I'm trying HARD to get my JS knives done. I see now that the presentation stage is much more difficult to do. Gosh, I'm spending, pretty much, all my free time (plus vacation time!) in the shop, and progress is slooooooooooow. Just when I think...

Beautiful piece! Hi Bruce, I just noticed this addition to this thread. Wow! what a beautiful piece. All the components just come together so well. That ivory is wonderful. The damascus, the blade shape all compliment each other perfectly. When can I expect delivery :)?! Dana

I'm not ...surprised, that is, Bruce :). When can we expect another WIP for the new pattern? Maybe you already have started one. I'll go and check. Anyhow, congrats, Bruce on another trophy! Dana

Yeah, but good advice kept me form making a lot of mistakes :)! Dana

I'll try number 238! Thanks Fred!!! Dana
