...for making such cool blades I can't resist! :grumpy:;):D

I was resisting well for awhile...then the Blade pics came rolling in. I failed in my last minute try on a Bushfinger and started looking at this Hiking Buddy that was at KSF...looking at it a lot! For a bit I even told myself, "just wait til Blade next year, get a proxy early and you're good." Nope. Tweren't to be! Broke down with this beauty late last week and it came in today! My Fiddleback collection has doubled! :eek:

Very nice, no? Super comfy handle and the sucker is probably the sharpest fixed blade I've ever received. It's a little tank too- didn't know how sturdy-tough these were. And that white with black?? Oh, yes! Nice! :cool::thumbup:

Oh man, so that was you huh? I stared at it for a while too and then . . . it was gone. Nice grab!!
 
Alright you guys,, keep moving nothing to see here (wave's hand mysteriously),,,,,these are not the Fiddleback knives you are looking for......:D:D

Beautiful piece !!, my fiddleback collection just doubled also,, new Machete in da house:thumbup::thumbup:
 
I too was watching that one(must have been to the site at least a dozen times). I was actually a little relieved when I saw it gone, otherwise I knew it would get me.Poverty is probably the only thing that saved me, and even then it was touch and go.
Congratulations on your score

Nice score! I have grown quite fond of my Hiking Buddy. Now I'm wanting a 5/32 convex with micarta for an edc.

Man, I love the graceful lines on those Lady Fingers, I'm gonna have to score one of those some day.
 
That was yet another one that was tough to let go. Glad you got one! I really like that little design!!
 
I recently got a Hiking Buddy and a long awaited Bushboot... gotta tell you that HB is going to get some serious rotation time on my hip. A really nice size, general purpose knife as far as I'm concerned.

But you're right, "Damn you Andy"... I've got money in my pocket with your name on it just waiting.... ;)
 
Surely you jest! ;) :)

What a tiny bevel on it...never had a knife like that and wondered how you did it! I've only cut paper and it does the tiniest curls...amazing.
 
Awww,a new buddy for your hikes,congrats Rich.
It looks like it's ready for a night on the town,but you know it'll be happier in the woods.
 
Black tie all the way Myke! :)

This knife is almost too pretty to use...
