Good job Lin!!
I personally like the single pin best ,although if I where stuck on an Island using the knife every day maybe I would use the multiple pin knife.
I still like the first Ivory one the best!!   ;)
,followed by the first single pin knife!!!
Nice job all around!!!

Yikes! They just don't get better than that Lin

any hog on my place would commit suicide to get stabbed by any of them!

That bottom knife has some of the nicest ironwood I have ever seen.  It is much more appealing to me than burl.
Oh...nice knife too but you didn't need me to tell you that.

Stic,

I'm sure Lin is a believer in tools being used are paying him the highest compliment.

Collectors keep the prices up, but I bet the ones that get used are the ones that please the maker the most.

Mr. Rhea,
 I'm not a knife maker but those are some of the most "sharpest" piece's of art I've ever seen...You guys all do some great work and my hat's off to you all...I'm sure glad that we have a place here on TradGang to show the work you guys do...What good is a Trad bow if you don't have a good knife to clean what you kill...If I was ever to look for another knife in the future this will be the first place I'll check to buy one...Keep up the great work guys and Thank you for showing us your work and hope you don't mind if I post here even though I don't make any myself...Well, I've made a few out of saw blades but nothing like these...God Bless, Keefer's <")))><

Ouch! those are amazing.

The quest to improve is so focused on a few design aspects & compensating for hunter ineptness as to actually have reduced a bow & arrow’s effectiveness. Nothing better demonstrates this than mech. BHs & speed fixated designs

Gulp...that is absolutely beautiful! One question do you know what species of wood (the latin name) that Ironwood handle is made from? I would like to try and find some.
