Here is one I recently finished for a customer and thought I'd share. I wanted folks to know I havent been sittin around doin nuthin.

The blade is 7 inches and made of 1080 and 15N20. The fittings are Stainless and the handle is Ironwood Burl. The handle is thru tang construction with the pommel fastened to the tang. Its named after a well loved and respected gentleman. I expect to make this knife again and will probably forge some from carbon steel. Thanks, Lin:)

Boy Lin, you keep coming up with the great ones. Very nice ironwood and blade lines.

Bring some of these to Jerry's next fall. :D
 
Absolutely beautiful. Good to see you at the Hammer In. Thanks again for taking time to show me around and introducing me to Jerry, J.R., Jim, Brion, John etc.

Thanks for the nice comments.

Kevin, I will do just that:) . I will use a large part of my knifemaking year to plan that show. I will be posting photos along and mentioning the ones that I will have there plus have them on my website.

Bob, Good to see you here! I hope to show your here soon. :)

The first time I met Lin I knew he had the makings of a great knifemaker.Turned out I was right.Great piece Lin.I am very proud of you and your acomplishments.
I think of you often.The little "S" guard fighter is in a display case in my computer room/ office.I took it out last night and fondled it a bit.
God bless you Lin
Your friend

Lin,
Another great looking Bowie from you,don't know which looks better,the striking Damascus or the gorgeous Ironwood burl,they complement each other nicely. :thumbup:

Can only echo what everyone else has said - a very striking piece! :thumbup:

And I would admit that I'd love to see one in a carbon steel with a nice hamon... And given the size, it would fit right in with my collection!!! :D
 
Hey guys,

Just a note from the guy that Lin made this knife for. It was designed to honor my father at his passing, as he also shared a passion for knives. I must say, Lin has been exceedingly couretous, artistically blessed, and may profoundly impact my life with this little beauty. It was his knives that have inspired me to look at knife making as a future hobby.
ps: From my perspective, it is the most georgeous knife I have ever seen, can't wait to get it.
