Perfect example of 'movement'.
Your eye starts at one end and is pulled along all the way to the other.
Don't get no better.

My o' my! Lin,that knife is stunning!!

I don't think Lin touched on this- but that portion near the front that appears to be stacked leather is actually wood- little rectangles of wood, turned in alternating directions to appear to be leather- I believe it's cherry wood- and it's stabilized.

A perfect example of why Lin is a Master Smith- AND an artist....combining materials and techniques that separate him from the crowd- always trying new things- always putting a personal twist on something others have done- to make it a "Rhea".

Fabulous knife...glad I got to hold it on two occasions recently.
