This is one I just finished. Kind of smallish, but very comfortable to hold. The blade's about 3 1/2 inches long.

Beautiful. I like the simplicity of the inlay. It seems very elegant to me.

Now that is a finesse tool for certain.

That's a beauty, Lin!
How'd you tie that knot in the wire?

I like all that! I just got back from the W.F.Moran Exhibit opening at the SMKW in Sevierville and the Workshop, so I really appreciate this knife.

What finish did you use over the stain?

Nice Little Sendero, Lin

Wow-really like the inlay on that. Inlay is one of the things on my long list of "want to learn how to do". Heard something about crawling before running, though.... Great knife, Lin. And what kind of wood is that and is it stabilized?

"Smallish" knives are my favorites, and that one is outstanding. Love the curly maple and inlayed wire. What is the steel? You really hit a home run with that knife!

Very clean design with crisp definition between the surfaces. I like it very much.

Dang, some knives just take my breath away. This is one of them.

Lin Rhea · « **Reply #16 on:** May 13, 2011, 06:47:00 AM »

Thanks. The steel is 1084 and the wood is Curly Maple (unstabilized). Stabilized Maple wont take stain and makes the inlay very difficult. So, the handle is stained and multi coated with Danish Oil.

The crisp edges are something I try to stress, unless it interferes with funtion or comfort. I think it implies intention, because there's almost no way it will turn out crisp without effort.

Very Nice
