Lin Rhea JS Damascus Hunter

[muddy672]

Very happy to show off this hunter. This came directly from Lin. A first class maker to deal with, the whole transaction was smooth and enjoyable.

4 1/4 forged damascus blade with a 3 3/4 edge. Overall it's 9 inchs. The handle is African Blackwood. Lin notched a 1/2 inch thumb rest directly infront of the guard and it's in the perfect spot (at least for my hand/thumb!). Nicely capped off with a dark brown Rowe sheath. I really like the dark brown color of the sheath as it picks up on the very subtle browns in the blackwood handle .... I think much more interesting than a black sheath.

Lin warned me it was sharp and the single sheet of shredded paper infront of me confirms it!

Beautiful knife with excellent fit and finish. Thank you Lin!

A great looking hunter. I really like the steel, and African blackwood is one of my favorite handle materials.

Nice. African Blackwood & damascus go really well together.:thumbup:

Kind regards,

Don't really care for african blackwood as a handle material however it's a very nice piece.

I'm glad you like it Matt. I want to see photos of you skinning one of those big Canadian whitetails with it. Thanks for the encouraging words. Lin
