This is a Lin Rhea Damascus Bowie Knife.  This knife is from my personal collection.  I purchased it directly from Lin in 2007 at Jerry Fisk's Micro Invitational Show.  Lin was the invited, up-and-coming Journeyman Smith that year.  This was 2 years before Lin earned his Mastersmith stamp in 2009.  This one is stamped with his J.S.  It is in absolutely pristine, as-new condition - like the day I received it from Lin.  It has been stored outside the sheath in my climate controlled safe - never used, carried or sharpened.  Lin was definitely doing M.S. quality work when this knife was made.  If I recall correctly, Lin forged the ladder pattern Damascus blade from 1080 and 15N20 steels.  The fittings (both the guard and pins) are highly polished stainless steel.  And the handle is made from a solid block of African Blackwood - no seams!  This knife is well balanced and feels great in your hand.  To add to this beautiful knife, Lin has included a Kenny Rowe frog button leather sheath.  This is an outstanding example of Lin's Damascus capabilities.  Today you can't touch one of his Damascus knives of this size for under 4 figures.

Condition:  Brand new from the maker (2007)
                    From my personal collection - never used, carried or sharpened
