Highly Functional Art

This bear cub is such a beautiful knife. It came very sharp and the fit and finish is absolutely superb. It really is a work of art. I had to share some pics.

That's a great looking blade and I haven't tried that one yet.. I think the thread title could describe all of Andy's Knives though IMHO :thumbup:

The spalting on that is superb! Nice score buddy.

When I nail that knife I love it. But its a tricky little shithead and I ruin a lot of them too. There are lots of designs that way. Convexing is hard.

I completely agree.

Thanks Duder! It is amazing how many beautifully spalted blades are coming out of the forge recently with the addition of A2.

Thanks! I really love the handle configuration. I would love another one in scandi!!

This one is perfect! After trying to grind a few knives on my 1x42" grinder, I can really appreciate the skill you have acquired over the years. Thanks for the great knife!!!

This one I have not tried, but am very interested in. Yours looks like a perfect specimen.

Thanks Tekton. When Andy came out with a few new models all at once, this is the one that interested me the most. It is a neat little knife.

How does it handle? Looks to be like a mini fiddleback kephart.

It is like a mini kephart. When I first got it, I was wishing the handle was a little longer and the blade a tad shorter. I like a full size handle with a smaller blade sometimes. Now I have gotten used to it and like it for what it is. I love the kephart and that is why I knew I had to have this one. This one is tapered and it is so light and nimble.
