WOW, what a treasure!!!!!!!!!

You might say I have a similar knife. It was made for me by a friend that was far too old to be making knives by the time he made it for me. I can only imagine the time and sheer effort it took him. I personally drew the exact shape of the blade I wanted and he too added some "special" pieces to the knife. You might say I know what this knife means the Mr. Lodgen.

It takes a special person to pour that much of his soul into something for someone else than himself, my hat's off to you Mr. Rhea! You are truly a blessing in the trad world

Mr Logsdon I am very sorry for your loss sir! I admire your thoughtful creativity with the project of this knife. Thank you for sharing the story behind the knife, it adds so much to it.

Lin... amazing! Thanks for taking all the pictures and sharing the project with us. I don't need to have ever made a knife to be enthralled with this!

Quite possibly the most beautiful knife I've ever seen. Especially with the back story.

Lin,

You sure do put the "MASTER" in Master Bladesmith. That is amazing work.

Gary, I knew about your Dad, but not your Mom. A fine remembrance for both you loved so much. I am sure it will bring back a better memory every time you touch it.
