I had the pleasure of making the "Lost Wax" for this project.

Bruce Bump is a world renowned knife Smith. I attended highschool with his son Brian.

These guys are some of the finest hands I know.

Some of the most beautiful and aesthetic work I've ever seen.

If you are wanting custom work like this you need three things:

Disposable income, an "amazing idea" that they are willing to work on, and a great deal of patience because the waiting list is probably years-long at this point.

Please share!

@StunLikes ...I remember you shared when I said I was working on perfecting 'lost wax & molding systems' for fine art & jewelry. Thought you might wanna see this sword. My part was small... The knife-smith and engraver did the real work (The Bumps)... But still glad to share.
