Got a batch finished today to show y'all. Most are available for purchase.

The two Scandi's are done. I put a penetrator tip on the Ladyfinger, which is wearing some sweet Cocobolo. The Bushcrafter is wearing stabalized dyed Box Elder burl.

Two Ladyfingers with convex sabregrinds. One wearing East Indian Rosewood, and one wearing stabalized dyed Maple burl.

This piece of EIRW was really neato. The grain looks like feathers.

Two Nessmuks. Knotty Osage on the big one, and Cocobolo over Osage on the small guy. You gotta see the "feature" I uncovered in this Cocobolo. Looks like a star. I love Cocobolo. This is a real light piece. Sometimes its dark. Lots of yellow here too!

Wow! I still want to own one of your knives. Gotta be patient though. I don't have the money yet. I really like all of those.
 
I'm sorry Andy but can we see close up of that purple and blue handle with the box elder? That is really cool lookin.... WOW :thumbup:

Damn it those are sweet! You're the man. The Hunter looks friggin great. You are totally going to make me one with a scandi grind in the not too distant future.
 
Awesome knives! This just solidifies my want for a scandi ladyfinger, you should be hearing from me soon. The pointy-point on the first ladyfinger is really neat.
 
Thanks guys. I think that Scandi Ladyfinger is staying with me. It was my first Scandi, and I was working out kinks while finishing it.
 
they are really nice but that lady finger with penetrator tip is special:thumbup:
 
I think I speak for us all here when I say that I'm getting tired of saying "this looks like the best batch yet", "it's amazing how you constantly freshen up and improve on your designs", "those handles are friggin' incredible, yada, yada, yada", over and over again. For once you should screw something up, or just coast on some work, just so we have something new to talk about.

Friggin' awesome as always Andy, just this time more so (yet again [yawn])
 
Andy,

That is sweet, Andy.

Can we return knives to have the penetrator tip added? And how much for the extra work?
 
NOOOOOO. Please. That is an Andy trash knife. I just wanted to practice the penetrator tip. It was very nervewracking to hold that knife to the grinder. I'd hate to do it with a customer's knife...
 
Damn brother! You've been holding out on me...those Lady Fingers are frikkin' sweet. I should have word shortly on that Woodsman. Thanks for the patience.
 
PBC!! Great seeing you here!

Everyone please welcome my table partner at the Vegas Show. (He cut a guy accidentally at the show and the guy had to have his arm amputated.)

So I've got to order a totally new knife to get the penetrator tip. Well, that's marketing for you.

So when I actually order a LadyFinger then I can get the penetrator?

Man. You're a good customer. I won't say no if you insist on having a penetrator tip installed on your Fiddlebacks. But I will say I had to do some regrinding at the tip and that blade is at least a 1/4" shorter than other Ladyfingers. :eek:
