Got time for a "Hunter"?

[Karl B. Andersen]

I realize there's tons of focus on the Bowie of the Year, but, alas, this is what I've got.
(I will admit that I did finish the Journeyman Smith Knife of the Year for the Blade Show auction, but since I don't have the photography done on it yet - it won't get entered!)
Anyway, unless I work day and night for the next few days, this will be the last knife I make for 2011.
A really sweet piece of Desert Ironwood mates up quite well with what I call "Radical Random" and stainless steel take-down fittings.
The blade is hot-blued 336 layers of 1095 and 15N20.
Blade comes with a crested spine.
Happy New Year!

That's a really nice piece Karl - the ironwood and damascus compliment each other quite nicely.

It actually got out of here without me getting any pictures. When it comes back with the sheath I'll get one.
