Title: A couple just finished for the Russell Show
Post by: Lin Rhea on August 13, 2008, 05:27:00 AM

I just got these done and photographed.

The first has a 4 1/8 inch blade of some damascus I had left from a large knife. The handle is Sambar Stag dyed Mahogany colored.

This one is also a twist pattern, but has African Blackwood, Its about 4 1/2 inches. Lin

Wow! Both stunners Lin. Can't decide between the two, but I'm leaning towards the Blackwood as my favorite. Could I possibly get a closeup shot of the 'mascus pattern in the blade?

Both are top notch, but I'll take the top one please  :)   You accept credit, right?  No?  How about naming rights on my first born?  Wait, too late for that, how about a kidney?  :D

One of these days I'm seriously going to have to talk to you about a knife!

I like your hunters a lot, that blackwood handled hunter is especially nice.
