Looks like part of the same billet as the bird boot?
Darcy

I was thinking the same thing Darcy.  What are the dimensions?   Looks like it'll be a nice little hunter if I'm guessing the size right.

Matt Toms

Exactly.

4 3/8 inch. 5/32 thick.

Maybe a hair thicker.

Do you ever sleep?  It seems you are turning out knives at the same rate I'm arguing with my wife!!!  I really enjoy your work though, and hope the pace continues.

I was guessing 4-4 1/2.  That'll be a fine little huntin knife.  Kinda sad that I've looked at your knives laying on that background so many times I can measure the lengths with it.  I guess I'm kinda a TG stalker.     :scared:

Keep us posted

Lin, you're giving us all complexes. Not only can't we match your quality, I can't even come close to the quantity.

So many nice knives and so little money   :(

Thanks

I have had a busy weekend. I cant keep this pace up all the time.

That's true Matt. I sort of planned it that way.

I grabbed my long bow and sit in a ground blind this afternoon. That was very nice.

I need to make some more Damascus very soon.

Another great looking blade, Lin. Looking forward to the finished knife. Have something in mind yet?

Oh boy, that will be a dandy.

I have some Dyed Stag scales laid out for it. I'll try to get them on this afternoon, if I feel up to it. Thanks

OK, this little knife is finished,....I think.   :scared:  

I did something on the handle that is weird to me, but the scale has, or I should say "had"...a whitish streak along the guard that just looked too much like a mistake. It wasn't, although I make plenty. I already added an extra stainless spacer.

But natural material they way it is, I just deal with it. I decided to add some grooves with my gun checkering tools. This was all it took to remove that whitish material in the stag, but made quite a change in the over all look of the hunter. It's growing on me.

I actually made this knife from the forging of the blade to measuring the thickness, guard length, etc. to fit this sheath. It fits great. It's a gorgeous sheath, if I may say so. It's made by our own Scott Teaschner, TG member.

I hope you like it.

A fine Knife and a fine sheath, Great job on both.

That's amazing Lin.

Beautifull! I love that stag.
Seriously the first thing I thought when I saw the pic was "YUM"! Is that wierd??  :dunno:    :D
Darcy

That stained stag handle looks great, as does the whole knife. Scott does do great leather work too.

Dang Lin, I have to get one of your knives one of these days, love this one.

Thats a beauty.  I know there will be some very happy hunter when they get that one. I really like the extra work on the stag.

Chris

Hey Lin.  How bout a few more pics of the finished knife???    :thumbsup:

Thanks Pat.

I'm getting it shot by a pro today and should be able to post that too soon. Thanks  :)

Lin,

I do not know how a pro could take a better pic than that last one. First two were not bad either.

Danny, He probably wont have the back of an out house as a back drop.    :biglaugh:   That's what it is, no kiddin.

I always try to take some cell phone shots myself to see if I can do it justice. Sometimes yes, sometimes no.

That is an heirloom knife and sheath.  Real nice.

Lin you are cranking out some amazing knives. Really enjoying the pictures
