My New Hunter
« on: July 15, 2010, 09:15:00 PM »
Ever since this forum was created I really have enjoyed looking at the different work some of you do.  I don't build knives but I love the look and feel of a well crafted piece of steel.  One of the many talented knife makers that I love looking at pictures of their work is Mr. Lin Rhea.  Ever since seeing his work I knew I would love to have a knife of his some day.  Well while browsing the internet looking at web pages of all different knives I stumbled across on of Lin's hunters for sale.  I bought it and it is awesome.  Everything I thought it would be.  It is stamped with the J.S. symbol so I am not sure when Lin made it but it will be a perfect companion with me this deer season.

Tim,
      When someone like you invests in a handmade knife you are investing in the maker too. I thank you for your confidence in my work and I'm pleased it found a home with a fellow tradgang member. I look forward to hearing how it performs for you. Lin

Nice score. A true custom knife made by a Trad Gang member and a MS to boot.

Wow Tim, great score on that one!  Sheep horn handle scales too!

Shrew Bows, and a Lin Rhea knife too, your living large Mr.

Until hunting season I guess you will have to be satisified cutting your venison steaks with that beauty!
