Before the Art of Steel Show in Little Rock I was working on another X-Rhea Bowie and just ran out of gas and laid it down. After a couple weeks of family time I snuck out to the shop and worked on it some.

Here's the handle strap before I folded it under.

Man, I'd like to see your shop sometime. Leave it up to you to find something like that on the shop floor!
What a blade. The X-Rhea - too cool.
Remind me not to pick a knife fight with you :scared:
Now that's a beautiful beast! I'd love to see her in Damascus!
Sure wish I could find one of these in my shop Lin. Another great looking X-Rhea knife.
Nice!
Thanks. Here is a pro photo just to document it.

Awesome. I like the pre folded pic, helps explain the process.
These have to be one of the COOLEST bowie knives I've ever seen.
Goodness gracious.
I hereby volunteer to sweep up your shop!
