First "J.S."

[Karl B. Andersen]

I wanted something a little different for my very first Journeyman Smith stamped knife. I just really wanted to be the Best Dressed Man around the gut pile come this bow hunting season!
A nice little Every Day Carry with some choice African Blackwood and two Mother of Pearl inlays to set it off.
Stainless steel guard and take-down assembly hardware.
This knife's been a long time comin'.

Excellent lines, and construction to be sure...something to be proud of!

Best Regards,

"Been a long time coming" And she showed up as pure CLASS! WHOW!

 

[Kevin Jones]

I was very impressed with your "JS" test knives Karl, and of course continue to be with this one. We always here knives being refereed to as Tuxedo Bowie or Tuxedo Fighter, well this is a Tuxedo Hunter is there ever was one. It has class written all over it.

 

[Peregrin]

That looks to be an excellent knife! It sure makes a beautiful canvas for your first JS mark. Congratulations!

dang red x's...

Oh well, I'll swing by your site!

Okay, went to your site and saw it - nice work! I like the blade style, and having fondled a couple of yours in Atlanta, I like the handle, too. The inlays really set the whole thing off!
My only issue would be the guard - it's not a style I care for, but since I can't touch it, I'll just have to say it's not my visual cup o' tea, but, it is in your style, and I liked what I saw at Blade.

Now, another one with Bakelite! LOL!!!!

Dang, Karl; we're gonna make a real knifemaker outta you yet, aren't we?



That's one heck of a beauty of a knife! :thumbup:

 

[Doug C]

Outstanding!
The handle/blade shape,guard(requisite s/s),the choice of materials(love the Blackwood w/MP inlays) and it's a take- down.
Great photography:thumbup:,meant to complement your pics before but never did.

[Ralph Merlino]

Karl, I must say that is a beautiful knife.

 

[Kyle Royer]

Great knife!

I love the handle especially!

 

[Lorien]

Dude, I'm sure your knife looks awesome, but I can't see it.

Damn good score on the web address I must say!:thumbup:
I expect an image of this knife will live in perpetuity on your homepage? (at least then I could see it)

 

[Keith Montgomery]

I really like that handle. The shape and the inset. Actually, I think you did a great job on the whole knife.
