Title: LeMiz Bowie (sheath added)
Post by: Lin Rhea on March 27, 2013, 08:50:00 PM
I just quenched this bowie and it's in the oven now. I think it will be a good'n. 10 inches long and 2 1/16 inch wide.

I do not know where you are getting that stag material Lin but every piece is better than the last. And the first piece I saw I thought was on the top shelf.

Beautiful Lin. The contrasting finishes on the fitting is great and the stag is perfect. Thanks for sharing.

Lin you keeping that one to carry?   How do you like the rawhide sheath, havent you had a couple of those made???
Title: Re: LeMiz Bowie (sheath added)
Post by: Lin Rhea on April 28, 2013, 08:28:00 PM
Yes, I'm keeping it. My son requested a rawhide sheath and I thought we would keep the same look in the family. It has required my sheath maker to develope some new methods to make it work.

I had the pleasure of handling this package yesterday at Jerry Fisk's shop visit. The stag is perfect in the picture but in person it is unbelievable.  Such depth in the color and feals great in the hand. The sheath was very well executed much to the credit of the sheath maker.  

Sure makes a guy wish this quality of stag were easier to come by.

I love the knife and sheath, but that hatchet head holds my attention. The profile is my idea of perfect.  If and when you start selling those, let me know. That would be an excellent to both my living history and bushcrafting kits. As always, inspiring work!

Lin, the more I look at that knife, the more beautiful it becomes. I have to admit I'm having some feelings of lust! How sick am I?

Amar911.  I share the same sickness!  It must be something going around on this thread  ;) !

One of these days, Mr. Lin, I'm going to own one of your knives!!

Thank you gentlemen.

Bob, I hate to tell you this, but you can't own just one of Lin's knives! It's the sickness, you know.
