I want a Bushfinger in some wicked walnut over natural with blue pinstripes!
 
Put me down for black bolstered antique Westinghouse in 5/32" TT A2 with mind bending spalting ;)
 
I wish I had my original OD over nat can with an orange stripe....but maybe super thin, 3/32 :D
 
I was like, Will's only had 200 posts?!?!?!?! :eek::D

I already own a pretty fabulous bushfinger w/ Eucalyptus burl, but this is possibly one of the earliest photos I saw of Andy's knives, and what made me want to get a Fiddleback in the first place (though I actually ended up getting a bushcrafter first). So I'd love something just like either of them, with a fat, rounder, old school handles, with maybe a black micarta bolster, 1/8, and since I'm dreaming, a convex zero :D

Holy cow! SWEEEEEET!

I can't type! (some people say I'm special!) LOL
 
From the title, I thought you were giving them away. I'll take one in 1/8 SFT with a high grind. Oreo/blue/natural or Sapphire/orange/natural if available.
 
Osage over thick natty canvas with a lime green pin strip, natty pins - 1/8, A2 with some nice spalting.
 
Osage, white pinstripe, thick black liners, black trinity pins, 5/32" a2, sft. Leave lots of spalting and make the handle badonkadonk THICK!
 
Probably the same configuration as my dream Fiddleback which is a Recluse stainless 1/8 (or maybe O1/A2 tapered), black bolstered natural burlap with 1/4 pins. Very much so inspired by the Custom Shop Kephart from last week.

I think a Finger would look just as good in that configuration, and I would love to have one, but the Recluse wins out because I would use it for skinning and processing game.

My dream knife could easily be accomplished with a production run of Recluses but those aren't coming in the foreseeable future. So, I just get to wait and dream. Definitely will be looking to pick up a 1/8 stainless Recluse if I ever see one, or maybe the right 1/8 tapered...
