Great looking knife, Linn. Fine example of Scagel style knife. That stag really sets off the handle too. How long is the blade?

Now that's cool Lin.

Thanks guys. The blade is 4 inches and is 5160 steel I coal forged.

Definitely the Scagle touch, but a cleaner, more modern rendition. Nice!

For sure, too straight for a Scagel, but you can still see the lineage.
Good way to use those nice pieces of handle material that are a bit short to make a full stock on their own.

OH, I like the "knapped" arrowhead. Cool!

Looks just as good on here as it did on the book of faces. I tried one with a couple of arrowheads like that on the spine one time. Mine looked more like Christmas trees. :p

A quick question or three. You mentioned on facebook that the leather is stabilized if I read correctly. Could you explain that process? What is it stabilized with? Were the washers stabilized individually resulting in hard washers that you then stacked, or are they stacked and glued/clamped and then stabilized as a solid piece and fitted to the tang like a wooden handle? This is the first time I've heard anyone mention stabilizing leather and I'm just trying to wrap my head around how this one came together.

Matt, The leather was stacked on an all-thread rod and clamped tight, then run through a stabilizing process by Ernie Grospitch. He has a tutorial on his stencil site. Blue Lightning I think. He sent me a chunk that he made and I cut it in half and drilled it like wood. It is flakier than wood but only slightly. Easy to broach or file. I don't recall what it is stabilized with but I would not mind if it was a little harder to bring it up to the hardness of most woods. That said, I am happy with it.

The other side.

Do you offer any kind of payment plan for your knives??

Bladepeek · « **Reply #16 on:** June 19, 2014, 12:07:00 PM »

I'm looking forward to seeing this knife's new clothes.

That is a fine blade, Lin. You can just be that Mr. Rowe will do it justice.

Lin Rhea · « **Reply #18 on:** June 19, 2014, 04:21:00 PM »

Thanks guys.

That is beautiful, Lin. Very nicely done as always.
