Best Bowie award in Arkansas right there. And there's bound to be lots of em and some really nice ones at the show. But that there's the one. Fantastic job, Lin.

With powers of prediction like that, I should buy a powerball ticket

It was a real pleasure to get to handle this knife this last weekend. An amazing piece of Knifesmithing artistry. Congrats again on the award Lin and thanks for putting up with me and all my questions this weekend.

Lin Rhea · « **Reply #48 on:** February 26, 2014, 11:21:00 AM »

Thanks everyone.

Doug, Surely you know that it was my pleasure. Kay and I really enjoyed our dinner with You Karen, and Jon Christensen (Jon got Best Bird and Trout award!). I am enjoying seeing your work in hand again. You brought some nice knives to the show. I wish Karen had had some quivers with her. I completely forgot to ask her about one.

Thank you sir.

FYI, the knife is now in the hands of a sheath maker and we'll see how he does. I am to make the sheath stud to match the balls and send it to him. I'll do that real soon. But, picture this: Black Shark skin! I cant wait to see it. It will also be re photographed with the sheath.

That's real nice.

Thank you Chuck.
I just finished this sheath stud that will be on the new sheath. I'll end up posting a picture of the knife sheath package as soon as it gets done. Blacks shark skin.

Roughcountry · « **Reply #55 on:** March 09, 2014, 10:03:00 PM »

Congrats Lin, sure a well deserved award. The knife is just stunning and I can't wait to see the sheath that finishes the whole package.

Lin that is one helluva knife...and piece of art!! Great job!! Wish I could have made it to Little Rock again this year to see it in person!!

Lin Rhea · « **Reply #57 on:** March 19, 2014, 09:37:00 AM »

Thank you Pat and Robin. I have not seen the sheath yet. I think it is finished so maybe we'll see it soon.

gudspelr · « **Reply #58 on:** March 19, 2014, 03:34:00 PM »

Don't know how I missed the stud for the sheath you made-very cool and will tie it all together nicely. Really looking forward to the finished package
