Title: Christmas Bocote Hunter
Post by: kbaknife on December 18, 2012, 11:30:00 AM
I've been practically stuck in the shop for two weeks.
And it ain't over.
Here's one for a fella's Christmas tree for his son.
W1 blade and stabilized Bocote handle all done up in take-down fashion.

Back to the shop.

your pics are to wide please resize and post again thanks.

Very nice, Karl.   :thumbsup:   What're the dimensions on this one?

That is beautiful.  That has three of the things I want to try this next year:  flat grinding, bocote and a hamon.  Bocote is one of my favorite woods on a knife, and for some reason I have never used it on one of mine.

I wish I was stuck in the shop.  I'm stuck on a pipeline construction project, hoping we'll finish up Friday so I won't have to work the weekend or Christmas.

one of the greatest compliments I can give as a knife maker to another is that I could see one of your hunters from across the room and say with certianty...  thats a Karl Anderson hunter.

I have seen some knives across my room and said, "those are Karl Andersen hunters!" And I was right. Another beauty, Karl. I like it when you get stuck in your shop -- good things come out of it, even if you don't!!!!    :D

Hmmmm... I kinda like being stuck in the shop some days, like when it's hovering around zero outside...   ;)

Nice knife by the way.    :thumbsup:    :thumbsup:

Doug, looks like I'm going to have a couple weeks straight of that very scenario soon.
