Dating a Fiddelback

[lmalterna]

Is there interest for having a sticky that could act as a guide for dating older Fiddlebacks? There has been such an interesting evolution from the early days until now that it interests me to know more about the stages- what year the bulls eye lanyard tube came about, when the wood liners started/ended, single metal pin, etc.

A consolidated post stickied would make a nice reference to date the OS a a person just picked up.

Thanks,
Bill

Viewing the albums in Andy's FOTKI site provides a fascinating pictorial evolution of his knives. Maybe a good place to start.

The title keeps throwing me off. Makes me think of romance...

Phillip,
If I happen across it, I will be sure to tip you off I kind of figured someone would skew the conversation based on title

Indeed. Also Bill's first line - "dating older Fiddlebacks." Even older Fiddlebacks need love. Perhaps an OurTime thread for older Fiddlebacks?

You'll like dating a Fiddleback, but they don't pay for dinner usually. Thats my only complaint...
