X-Rhea Bowie

Yea, another crazy one.

This Bowie is 15 inches over all and the proportions are just right. It has a full forged integral handle with a rivet on the bottom. It's almost finished by now. More pictures soon.

You're rediculous. Once you get this process figured out, I want to see one done fully from Damascus with the whole thing polished/etched. And if you can maintain a nice ladder pattern throughout, I'll drive to Little Rock one day just to buy you lunch.

Thanks Matt!

Outstanding work Lin. I just never know what is going to show up when I click on your threads.

LIN, you are out of control......

In a very good way!

I am anxious to see how you finish this one.

That name must have come to you in the middle of the night in one of those 1/2 dream things.

My word.......what a cutter!

KSCATTRAPR · December 17, 2015, 02:28:00 PM

Awesome, looks like it could handle that would pile with no problem.

You did this one slightly different from the other, and I think I like it! Duh!

I LOVE it! Nothing outta place on that beauty. My head hurts trying to reverse engineer that thing. Beautiful work as always, Lin!

Like the name, love the knife.

I hope some day I'm half as good as you. Would have loved a knife like that when I was in Iraq. Keep em coming. I love drooling.

Yea, it's something in the water.........

Lin Rhea · December 19, 2015, 09:13:00 PM

Thanks!

That is flat out amazing!
Great work Lin!

Damn!! Just when you think you have seen it all just click on a post by Lin or Karl.
Really unique - not sure what is more impressive, the brain that comes up with these ideas or the talent to see them into hand??

With the "Mind over matter" and all I am sure the hamster wheel has considered the Damascus idea and/or a really awesome piece of wood or bone centered inside the relief - or both??

Dream big Lin and keep the magic coming please.
