I hope you're right Mike. I need all of the luck that can get buddy. That said, there's no doubt that it will make my time afield even more special.

[CoachBGriff]

Too awesome!

Incredible Lin. I'm sure this knife will not only have many good days for him in the field but will also be handed down for a long time.

[D. Key]

Wow, is all I've got.  What a story and unbelievable workmanship.  God speed.

[johnnyk71]

so awesome.

Custom knives are so different than production models. I'm sure it's the character in each work of art knowing they're one of a kind. Absolutely stunning work Lin. You put thought into your craftsmanship like Gary puts thought into his photography. Excellent. bw

[D.Ellis]

That's as good as it gets. Made from pieces of the past, by the hands of a craftsman who understands the value of such things............top notch Lin.

Thanks Darcy. I appreciate a craftsman as you saying so.

Barry, Thank you much for commenting on my work. I enjoy you guy's videos. I just got my copy of October Whitetails yesterday by the way. I've watched it several times over the years and now it's in my library.

Thanks again guys.

So much for the condemnation of "heartless" animal killers   :rolleyes:  
Lin, Gary, I can't imagine the halls of Buckminster  Palace have anything with more class or meaning. Well done to you both!

The beauty of a piece like this goes so much deeper than looks. The looks by the way don't get any better in a knife.

This is the type of work and story that needs to be worked into history books to preserve what master art craftsman and hunters are all about and what they accomplish when two greats come together..

Awesome all the way around.

I am touched and humbled by the comments
I've read here. It gives the knife even greater meaning.

[2Knives]

Like everyone else I'm amazed.
Great work once again.

WoW ,nothing but the BEST,   Joe

[NittanyRider]

The knife is beautiful.  I can't think of a better way to preserve the memory of your mother and father, Gary.  Thank you both for taking the time to share this with us.

As the worlds leading knife gawker, I feel qualified to state, you are the best Lin. There are so many great artists out there making knives these days and many expertly built with attention to eye appeal and ergonomic science but to this day, every masterpiece that you produce is something that I think to myself "Man, He Made That Just The Way Id Order It!" Hats off to you Sir!

[Lin Rhea]

Thanks Izzy.

Thanks for all of your comments.

The sheath should be done tomorrow afternoon and I'll try to get a photo up soon.

[Bowwild]

I applaud the way Gary honor's his parents. I'm sure we've seen just the tiniest tip of the iceberg of that quality in him here.

When I saw the assortment of items Lin Rhea had to work with I could not imagine how they would be turned into a knife. His mind's eye must be a crystal ball to exhibit such vision.

[Gary Logsdon]

Thanks for your kind words Roy. I received the knife in the mail today and it's everything that I had wished for. I'll post a few photos when I can.

[Sant-Ravenhill]

Amen, to the all the posters praise and sentiments.
