OKAY Mr. Bruce --- looking good ! Can't wait until I can get my gribby paws on it --- don't polish it any higher than 600 grit. I will polish it higher after I have finished the scratching............................

Greg, please contact me immediately, thanks. Ken

Greg, please contact me immediately, thanks Ken

DAVID ---- have your wife glue the bolsters down with a propane torch & hot glue sticks onto a piece of alum. scrap plate. If this is tied down on the turn table, she should do okay.

Most sincere best wish for a speedy recovery --- we need guys like you.

The reason the blade is blue is because you shoy the picture outside (blue sky reflection) --- try shooting pictures outside on overcast day.

I'm just finishing engraving the thrid Sil. bronze set of bolster & spacer for Kevin Casey. The sil. bronze works much easier than the alum. bronze. The alum. B. will maintain a golden color longer than the sil B. Kevin has different patina solutions availble to him that give different colors...

RYAN, I suggest you ask your supplier about the best method. I also think Bladsmith would have some good ideas perhaps.

Little Miss Darci, thanks you dear. It is especially appreciated as you are so young but obviously been taught good manners. All older folks love to see a child with good manners & it makes us like & respect them even more. Mack1 --- You most certainly can call me Ken, most folks do ecept...

I agree guys ---- come on, help Bruce with your support as this is a grand display of careing on Bruce's part. I for one guarentee that the engraving & gold border work will be of the highest order that I can do. You know that the knife Bruce and his son turns out will be of the highest...

Aaaaah thanks guys, I really appreciate all your kindnesses & well wishes. Today was just another day for me & actually I'm just taking a break from the bench at this moment and going back to try and finish up a piece of work for Kevin casey on one of his bronze bolsters. Got to get um in &...

Okay guys ---- this knife was won by Martin O. ( you know who you are). It was my pleasure to be able to engrave it as an added thank you. As he hasn't seen it, I thought it night be cool for him to find it on this site. As he lives in Tex. and considering the period this bowie would have been...

All of the above ........

Todd --- I thjink you should order a ton of this spalterd "brown stained" maple. I have never seen a maple that was durned pleasing to look at. Congrats.............

In years gone by, they used it to make main bearings in subs. You are right about the weight, it took two equal sized balsa tree to tie it to in order to float it down the river.

Warmth --- that's the word I was looking for. Great looking little knife ........

Yeah, good luck on me winning anything but, please count me in on your generous offer. Thanks, ken

I was able to access it but there wasn't anything there except a home page ????????????????

Personally, I would use bronze for the butt cap. It would compliment the spacers and not creat a rainbow of colors effect. JMHO

Better yet --- lay ivory om a piece of alum. or a piece of smooth & level hardrock maple or such wood. I have never seen anything pop a piece out when using this method for drilling Ivory --- learned this at the old Colt custom shop when I worked there. FWIW
