dont care what you call it,  but its as good as a hunter gets!  great stag too.   I like those simple, clean, perfectly executed little hunters.

GRAYBEARD

How about the "Rhea Essential"? I would love to call it mine.

I agree with Dustin and Mike. Nomad fits that knife Lin.

The pattern of the Damascus looks like those of the wood Wenge.
Lin's works are magnificence...so how about one for The Gentleman...Linge Hunter/Ranger

Nice work as usual!

What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime. It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset.

You guys have been very helpful. I have decided to call on the one person that can truely help me decide, my wife  :readit:  . She picked "Vagabond" (wanderer)as in "Vagabond Hunter". We thought  several of your suggestions were great and I am very thankful for your consideration of the chosing of the name.

Good choice in going with family help. My handle "mater" came from my son.

Thanks guys and I thank Chuck for the suggestion since his was what we decided upon. I do think knife will experience some wanderings where ever it goes.

It is a great looking knife.
Happy New Year.

vag·a·bond /ˈvagəˌbänd/
Noun: A person who wanders from place to place without a home or job.
Adjective:   Having no settled home.

First, I can think of MANY jobs for that knife.  Second, I can't see that knife having a problem settling in at a nice home.   ;)

I'm not sure any name would truly do it justice.  Anduril, Flame of the West would work...   :D

It's a beauty, Lin.

A play on "Arkansas Travel Hunter"

"Ark Hunter"

Ark for Arkansas and
Ark for well you know 40 days and 40 nights of travel.


Ooops just saw you have one picked out a good one at that.

Thank you guys for helping me. One meaning of Vagabond is "wanderer". It dont have the negative connotation as perhaps the first. Maybe it will have a home and a job eventually.   :)
