From Jerry……Texas Received the piece of artwork yesterday and needless to say it surpassed the pictures two fold. I doubt that it will ever be used in the field as I would probably have an emotional breakdown if I damaged it. This will be a piece of my legacy that will be passed to one of my grandchildren. You are not only a superb knife maker but also consider yourself a knife artist. Thanks again and the Best to You and Yours.
~From... "Mr. J. Law"...Pierson, Iowa~
Who ordered a Model 08 after seeing one of my knives in "Blade" magazine)...Shortly thereafter, he ordered a Model 18. I would like to thank Mr. Law very much for his kind words). Mr. Law wrote: "Hi Bruce: You get an A+ for the knife and an A+ for the sheath, you don¡¯t know how happy I am. The knife came today and I couldn't wait to open the box. I am a big guy and the knife fits my hand perfectly. The balance of the knife, the workmanship and the beauty.... Never have I seen such a prettier sheath, and the knife is outstanding. I would like to order another knife, No. 18, plain polished blade, green Micarta handle and brass. I would like the blade length not over 4 inches if this is possible. I got my knife today in the mail. It's every bit as nice as the other one. I haven't used the 18 yet, but I do get it out to look at it and admire it, such good workmanship. I have been wearing No. 08 on my belt and have had a lot of nice comments about it....I was pleased to have both knives hair shaving sharp. The sheath attracts attention first. What more can I say except that I am going to save up some money. I'm going to send a letter to "Blade" and "Knives Illustrated" telling them how much I like your knives. Keep up the good work. Hang in there. J.D.Law" (Mr. Law recently took ownership of his third knife...a model 32) ~Testimonial from... "Don"...Bayonet Point, Florida~ Bruce.. The black and orange hunter came today. I am most pleased! I am a knife collector and in my forensic work I know my weapons and skilled craft. This little knife is exquisite. I love the black and orange micarta look as you have it. Your fit and finish is as good as they come. The textured belly of the brass guard is a nice touch. All this and a great sheath, too. I will be back back for more. ~Testimonial from... "D. Trottier, Kelowna B.C."~ Bruce, I have hunted big game all of my life. I am proud to own one one of your knives. It has been wonderful over the years. Many thanks !! ~ From Chris M.....Toledo, Ohio~ Hi Bruce: I have always been a fan of your work. You are truly a craftsman. I have purchased knifes all over the world and yours are right up with all of them!!! Hi Bruce:I just received the knife and I want to tell you it is very very nice! I really like the purple heart handle, the photo does not do it justice. You can be complemented this knife is a keeper. Thanks again!! Chris
~From... Julie S. ...Sweetwater, USA~ Hello Bruce, I wanted to let you know we got the knife and might I say it's one of the most beautiful knives we've been privileged to lay our eyes upon...David took one look at it and said "that's too pretty to ever use"...boy, if I haven't heard that line a dozen times before! So, he just keeps collecting knives like a kid in a candy store. Ha Ha Even my mouth dropped when I saw it (and that don't happen very often). Thanks again! ~ Julie ~ From Chris M. Teledo OH. ~ Hi Bruce. Just got both knives and they are exceptional. The one of a kind is superb. Thank you again for your excelent craftsmanship. Keep in touch! ~FROM JERRY M.....CARSON CITY NV~ WOW! What a knife! It's a work of art. Tell Maggie her work on the sheath is equal to your work on the knife. You two make a great team. Thanks Bruce for a beautiful knife at a very reasonable price. Jerry. ~ FROM... RICHARD D....OREGON, WI ~ I could put yours beside the very best in fit and finish (nobody polishes better than you and most not even close). ~From "Kirk"...Bismarck, ND.~ Bruce Got the knife today its a keeper. You did a great job. I have about 15 custom made knives that I bought off people the last few years and your workmanship is as good if not better than any of them.
~From "John"...Cantonment, Florida.~ I recieved the knife. WOW it is really nice. It took some time to really look at it closely and appreciate the fine detail.
~ From "Chris"...Temperance, Michigan. ~
Hi Bruce: This is the second knife I have received from you in the purple heart. That wood is really super and your workmanship as always is SUPERB. Thanks again for holding it for me. ~ From "Jerry"...Carson City, NV. ~ Well, Bruce you did it again! Your Model 32 with a black Micarta handle arrived today. The double red spacers and the thin piece of brass is a nice contrast against the black Micarta. The knife looks and feels great. It's a nice size with good balance in the hand. The blade has a mirror finish and is razor sharp. Nice work! Tell Maggie she did a beautiful job on the sheath. Very nice fit and finish. Thanks for making another great knife at a very reasonable price. Jerry. (Addition)....I went to a gun and knife show at the Reno Hilton yesterday. There were 5 or 6 custom knife makers at the show. None of them had knives that approached the quality of your work. Take care, Jerry.
~From... "Peter "... Palm Desert, CA~
Bruce, the knife arrived today. It is a beautifully made knife, and I certainly appreciate all the work that went into it. Thanks again, Peter ~ FROM DARRYL…SASKATOON CANADA~ Hi Bruce: I wanted to let you know that your knife arrived this AM. What a pleasant surprise, the workmanship and quality was very evident, even more so than I expected. You should be very proud of your work, it really is first class. The sheath is absolutely awesome leatherwork. ~FROM TONY…VANCOUVER B.C.~ I am really pleased with the Tanto knife. It is exactly what I wanted.
The photos, even though they were excellent, did not do your knife justice. The knife looks so much better up close, and it feels great in my hand. I Thank you for the beautiful work and the time and love you put in this knife. I will treasure it always. ~FROM JOSEF…VANCOUVER B.C.~ I received the "Black Beauty" today and it is indeed a "Beauty"! I am amazed by the high level of craftsmanship and how good the knife feels in the hand. All details are meticulously done. Excellent work!
