A perfectly simple hunter by Russ Andrews

Here's a kife that is equally well-descibed as being perfectly simple and simply perfect.

This sweet little hunter features a 4 1/2" clip point blade of forged 1084 carbon steel and a real nice piece of black walnut with multiple grained stripes flowing through the wood. The moderately scuplted handle is a model of comfort and ergonomic design.




The fittings are stainless steel and the whole knife exhibits the kind of flawless execution that I have come expect from Russ.



The satin finish of the blade has to be seen up close and personal to be really appreciated. You can get spoiled for a lot of other knives with a finish like this.



Congrats on another great knife Russ!

And now I patiently wait for the matching bowie....

Cheers,

Roger

I've said it before Roger, you really have an eye for a good knife.

The fit and finish look perfect. And that plunge cut ......

Roger

Russ is a heck of a maker and a good buy also with his pieces.

Yep, I got to manhandle this one for a week or so, until it made it to it's rightful owner. It is everything Roger posted, and more. Someone made a comment about "that plunge cut". Guess what? The other side of that plunge cut looks EXACTLY like the other one.

Thanks for all the great comments.......

I've developed a fondness for that general style, and

really like clean steel and ornate woods.

That piece of walnut came from the Bishop Gunstock

sawmill in about "73 or "74.

Again....

THANKS

Thumbs up

Russ is Mr. Clean for sure. Looks great as always Russ. Hey I enjoyed meeting you at the Arkansas show. I wish we could have spent a little more time together.
