There is no indication of who engraved the pistol/knife. Are you the engraver? I've never seen a picture of your work so please excuse me if I didn't recognize it.
No, not me. Perhaps someone else will recognize the work. I was just impressed with the unique melding of knife, gun, and engraving. Novel, but creative.
I got to meet Bruce at the Boise Knife show this fall, where he won best of show with an unengraved "knife/gun".
The fact that he asked me how much I would charge to do the engraving on his unique "knife" led me to think that he may not always use the same engraver - maybe he was just being polite!

I don't know how I missed that. Jere Davidson does a lot of work on Edmund Davidson knives but the scroll looks somewhat different. In any case the knife/gun is unique and well executed.
Hot- Rod icon Von Dutch (Kenny Howard) built some pistol/ knives. I saw some on display at an art show in Laguna,Ca in the mid 90's. These things were as radical as his hot-rod and motorcycle customs. They looked like something Black Beard would have coveted. He was a gifted inventor,machinist, gunsmith, knife builder,engraver,pin striper,artist, draftsman,mechanic, musician,sign writer and an anti social bohemian, a real curmudgeon, a beatnik Da Vinci. I once heard he was building a cannon to shoot cement filled beer cans out in the desert.
Nicely engraved! But what a strange/weird piece; it looks extremely dangerous - for the user as much as anyone it's used against!!! Perhaps it's just created as a curiosity?
