Another "Itty bitty"!

[Karl B. Andersen]

I liked John White's idea so much I had to do one for myself. (I shouldn't say "one" because I have three more or varying sizes coming up right behind this one!)
I got rather inspired this past weekend when I say my buddy Ray Kirk demo some integral forging.
So I ran right home and forgd up this little "Itty Bitty" out of 52100 and mated her with some stabilized maple burl.
I think maybe you guys ought to get accustomed to seeing some integrals from Andersen Forge.

Looks good Karl- but how "itty bitty" is it?

Good looking "Itty Bitty", Karl.

The working portion of that blade is 3 3/4".

That was one of my childhood books, John. Circa '54.
It was either that one or Davy Crocket.

Looks great and isn't that small for a hunter.

I really like small integrals as an EDC fixed blade - this is a nice example.

I have grown quite fond of integrals and this one is just the size and style I like. Great knife Karl! Are you going to have any at Cambridge in October?

Excellent idea and great looking knife. I could see one of those as an EDC.
