2 Finger Karda Handle Design and Collector Features

The specific model featured here is the 2-Finger Karda. Shoppers seeking an authentic andy roy custom fiddleback forge fixed blade knife will admire the unique details spanning its curved handle. Brown burlap handle scales cover the grip. Andy's unique micarta black pins hold the handle scales securely together. White spacers add distinct visual contrast beneath the burlap material.

The maker also included his unique lanyard tube at the base. A brown cord lanyard was added later to complement the handle perfectly. Finding a well preserved 2-Finger Karda from this era gives collectors a fantastic piece. The maker designed this specific tool for comfortable handling during outdoor activities.

Forged O1 Steel Blade and Custom Sheath Details

The cutting edge features forged spalted 01 steel. A satin finished blade gives the piece a stunning appearance. Buyers may notice a faint mark on one side of the blade, though part of what appears in the image is simply a shadow from the product photo. The tool measures exactly five and three quarters inches OAL. The blade itself measures two and three quarters inches. Blade thickness measures exactly one eighth of an inch. During those early days, Andy did not provide sheaths alongside his creations. A very nice heavy duty brown leather belt sheath was specially made for the tool later. The custom leather sheath protects the spalted 01 steel perfectly while worn.

Why This Andy Roy Karda Stands Out in Any Collection

Lee’s Cutlery is proud to celebrate 30 years of offering the finest custom knives. We are excited to present a very rare find: a Fiddleback Forge Fixed Blade Knife by master maker Andy Roy. This knife is "new old stock" and was made right here in the U.S.A. It is a unique piece that belongs in the collection of any true knife enthusiast.

Andy focused purely on the craft of the knife itself. As he did not provide covers back then, they had a custom and heavy-duty brown leather belt sheath made specifically for this tool.
