Here are a couple shots of my new set from Andy. I have one of his new Bushcrafters he made for me in Goncalo Alves over Osage Orange. My other one is a Ladyfinger with scales of Bocote over Wenge that I scored off the makers for sale area.
The Bushcrafter was something that I had wanted for while and finally stepped up and was lucky enough to have Andy make one for me. It is a great knife that measures 8.5". The blade is a hair over 4" from tip to handle and a little over 1" at it's widest point. The handle contours are very smooth and feel like the knife was custom made to my hand. The knife has very nice solid feel and handles very lightly. Balance point is just under the front corby bolt on your first finger.
I came across my Ladyfinger more by chance, as Andy put it up for sale and I just got lucky. It was not something I was intending to buy, but the handle combo pushed me over the edge. I have to say this is one of the best buys I have ever made, this is a great little knife. This one measures 8 5/8" in total length. The blade is exactly 4" from tip to handle and 1" and it's widest. This is a much lighter and slimer knife than the Bushcrafter, it is actually one ounce lighter (5.1 vs. 6.1). The Ladyfinger is no delicate little knife by any means, it one solid smooth handling cutter. It came super sharp and sliced great, it just needed a little strop to get it shaving sharp. The balance point on this one is right at the corby bolt as well. This knife is a great all around blade, with a very pointy tip.
I have not had a chance to get out and really beat on these yet. I have a little camping trip this week so maybe then I will get to test these out a bit more. So far they have worked great around the house opening boxes and trimming a couple branches. The O1 is great at throwing a spark with a firesteel. Andy has once again delivered on some great knives, with some great designs and quality.
