Orange Peeled - Asym Compound Grind - Boomerang Dammy Bomber-Edition Framelock

Dave's closest friends have called him "Bomber" for almost 30 years now... so it just made sense that when Kingdom Armory decided to make available a special tier within the Bench Series, the closest you can get to a full one-off custom...it should also be called "Bomber".

Differentiated from Dave's full blown, one-off customs only in that fact that some parts are CNC machine made and delivered to Dave in blank unfinished form. He will utilize small batch CNC'd backspacers and clips for example, but still be texturing the frames and grinding the blades in much the same way he would a custom. And of course each one is fully assembled and tuned under Dave's strict attention to detail. His fingerprints are on every piece.

Completely aware that many other makers would just call this a full custom, Dave still adheres to the ethos that "custom" should mean that as much of the knife as possible be handmade, ensuring that each piece is artistically unique and contain the full work of the craftsman who both designed and personally built it. That is the work that dies with the maker, and the skills to be passed to Dave's sons one day. The fingerprints will be different, but the design language will endure.

• From here, Dave hand finished the Ti frame in a wire wheel, satin orange peel texture that looks clean and will wear well with time and carry. The contoured clean CC'd profile of the frame is a carry over from the Bench Series Rogue run and feels great in the hand. The blade is one of Dave's asymmetrical compound grinds that he has become known for over the years. In this case, ground out of Chad's Stainless Bomerang pattern damascus and also etched in a traditional method. Bright shiny Stag Texturing and a dark damascus blade combine for a bold attention grabbing build!
