Lin, I think this is my favorite design of yours, it's similar to one you posted earlier that I believe you mentioned you won a show with. Awesome knife!

Damascus and stag, two of my favorite things, very nice Lin!

Thats beautiful Lin. I realy like it.

Lin Rhea · January 30, 2010, 04:07:00 PM

Dan,
I have only used spinners that I made. I hammered these pins with a small ball pien. Stag is pretty tough stuff, so I go ahead and plan on a pretty good head to hold a little inward pressure. The pin size is 1/8, so the head is slightly larger, but not by much. The dips and grooves in the stag always make it an adventure, but I like the look and I believe it to be very durable. Thanks, Lin

Emmons · February 04, 2010, 10:04:00 AM

Beautiful knife Lin!! Do you use the Mortised tang contruction on your stag knives also?

Lin Rhea · February 04, 2010, 10:37:00 AM

Yes James. The scales are two bark Stag slabs together, back to back. They have to be dead flat to make the good joint. Lin
