I like the red dots against the black scales .

Pins or ?

I think they only look red on smaller screens, on a large screen the look more orange and that is likely a product of me over saturating the colors to get them to pop in the bright sunlight and all the snow reflecting so much light at the image sensor. Actually in this case they were natural canvas micarta pens. But Andy has done some red pins on black scales with red liners before, it looked pretty cool.

Andy makes a hellova knife. I have three hand-spun by him, and I will never part with them.
I have a little Monarch, and it may be my favorite knife.

Yes, he does. And the Monarch is one of my favorite models. I've been eyeing the one on his website, with that high grind and sweet taper it's a nice piece.

I bought one of his Monarchs I guess about 4 years ago for my birthday. It's been all over hell's half acre. It's amazing to see how far Andy has come since he was bending leather

I've got one of his Woodsman models that was from back when he was still part-time. The only bad thing is that he was just etching his name on the tang back then, not stamping it in, so all the markings are gone. However, once you pick it up and handle it, there is no denying that Andy made it.

Thanks again for the review. I know Andy likes his knives used hard and kept sharp

He still etches them, but in a different way that etches deeper. Be careful if you decide to try to get him to re-etch, while Andy's older Woodsman, Ladyfinger, and Bushcrafter handles are my favorites, he does not like them and usually tries to trade people out of the older stuff they post with new stuff to remove the old stuff from the market place because it's so different from his new stuff. Personallym with it being Tony M that turned me on to Fiddleback Forge with a Ladyfinger and a Woodsman, I'd still take the older handles over the newer ones, but that's jus me I guess.
