I picked this one up off the shop floor
« on: March 07, 2016, 03:36:00 PM »
Before the Art of Steel Show in Little Rock I was working on another X-Rhea Bowie and just ran out of gas and laid it down. After a couple weeks of family time I snuck out to the shop and worked on it some.
   

   

   

Here's the handle strap before I folded it under.

Man, I'd like to see your shop sometime. Leave it up to you to find something like that on the shop floor!
What a blade. The X-Rhea - too cool.

Sure wish I could find one of these in my shop Lin. Another great looking X-Rhea knife.
