Guys, this is my first post on the Guild Forum. Lin Rhea here. If this is not the right place, feel free to move it. My friend, Chuck Ward told me about this place and he also took the photo.

The blade is 9 1/4 inches and the steel is 5160 forged. The fittings are Silicon Bronze and SS. The wood is Desert Ironwood. Greetings from Arkansas, Lin:)

Very good looking knife. I really like the bronze and desert ironwood. The pictures are good too. Does it have a false edge on the clip?

Thanks Harry. The clip is a simple two faceted bevel. I would have to say its sharp. I prefer a curved clip, but this one is straight. I'm sure I will make this one again. Lin:)

Thank you for the nice words of encouragement. I will indeed build some more of this pattern. I'll probably make some with all Stainless fittings. Lin

Thanks guys. I have some Ironwood burl that I cant wait to use on another one of these.
Warren, I'd like to get down there to your place someday. If it gets any busier around her, I'll have to clone myself. I wonder what my wife would say to that? :D Lin
