COMMENTS: Ultra clean workmanship on this classic hunter. Beautiful Premium Redwood Burl, amazing blade, the San-Mail is super cool, YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS WOOD TO BELIEVE IT. I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT. A popular and classic model from Mr. Andersen. Top name, outstanding fit and finish, a timeless knife for your collection. But Karl Andersen makes his knives to be used, but I cannot bring myself to use this one. Don’t wait a year and a half for Karl to make you a new knife – get one now!

ABOUT THE MAKER:
Welcome to Andersen Forge, on the Edge of the Iron Range.

I think the first thing is to tell you a little bit about myself.

I was fortunate enough to have been taken along on enough of my Father's outings, that my love for the outdoors was acquired at a rather early age, and hopefully, will last a lifetime.

I spent many evenings in the basement re-loading shells for the next day of dove shooting, or the next fox hunting adventure! With my father, I learned that the end of the trip was not the goal! Part of the pleasure was simply HOW you got there! I learned how to hand-craft arrows, sharpen knives, catch my own bait, build a small camp fire, and always, ALWAYS! never harvest what you weren't going to eat!

But most of all, enjoy yourself, and get dirty!



In 1996, I picked up a knife magazine at the grocery store, and have been addicted to making knives ever since! After a LOT of trial and error, I arrived at that point, where I was proud to offer my knives to anyone who also enjoyed the outdoors, or simply enjoyed the fruits of hand-craftsmanship.



Since that time, I have been doing all I can to learn knife design and construction. And it has been a worthwhile adventure, indeed!
