Aaron Lawvere & Chris Crawford had the extreme pleasure of speaking with ABS Master Smith, one of Steve Shackleford's Greatest Living Knifemakers, and a pioneer of the Cut & Shoot "dual-threat" model of knife and gun combinations - Bruce Bump on this episode of the podcast.

• Bruce shares a little of his life and background, and living in Walla Walla, Washington, including his early experience with knives as a Cub Scout
• Bruce talks a little about his early days in knives from being a motorcycle mechanic, and joining the ABS
• We talk a little about Cut & Shoots, inspiration and how Bruce got into them in the first place
• Bruce talks a little about his Formula 1, an automatic knife and mechanism of his own invention
• He also talks about the special features of the mechanism
• We talk Bruce's effort in education, writing posts for the Knifedogs Forum, and carrying on his knowledge
• We talk a little about hand-made tooling and machining that Bruce uses in his knife shop
• Bruce talks about now making Cut & Shoots from scratch, without pre-design
• We talk a little about engraving and Brian Bump's contributions towards Bruce's work
• Aaron inquires to Bruce's packaging and the books he had made to house his work
• Bruce talks a little about swords, especially his current work for Bladeshow Atlanta
• He also shares a little bit of advice for knifemakers coming up in the craft

You can learn a little more about Bruce Bump, his work, and gallery at his Website. Check out his Formula 1 pocket knife too! You can also follow him on Instagram, Facebook, and pickup a copy of Steve Shackleford's The Greatest Living Knifemakers, and get Bruce to sign it!

We have a treat for you all this week. We have the 2 time champion of the History Channels tv show "Forged in Fire" Colton Arias. We get a drop in from our Legal Correspondent Brandon Baratta and we sip on the magical nectar from the Game of Thrones! We also check in with current events and those pesky police scanners. Gonna be a good one, thanks for listening.
