That is one exceptional dagger. I like everything about it.
You know I'm a huge fan of the usual Andersen style, but it's nice to see a piece of yours that I didn't recognize it as such in a tenth of a second.

Wow!

It's time Karl, you can do it!

That one is a real eye opener...

Nice job on the dagger Karl and I agree with others that the departure is wonderful to see. Next will be a nice Chute Knife. Looking forward to seeing what new items you do come up with.

 

[J. Doyle]

Really nice Karl. I like that a whole bunch!

 

[Karl B. Andersen]

Very kind and encouraging words.
Thank you.

 

[braillediver]

Really nice. As others have said and meant in the nicest way- I wouldn't of recognized that as yours from the image. You're a truly skilled artisan and I loved the canoe.

 

[Big Rick]

One of the nicest daggers I've seen in a while. What is there not to like? Looks perfect and very pleasing to the eye. Another great Andersen knife.
Great work by Paul and Kaleb too.
