Hello everyone, I haven’t posted in a while but am a regular lurker. It’s nice to see a lot of the same faces (user names haha) from a long time ago. I hope everyone has been well.
Andy, I’m happy to see you doing so well and continuing to grow and share your knowledge. I’ve been eye balling Fiddleback U for a while now and almost have the wife convinced:)
That out of the way, I’m currently carrying a 3” knife, usually a hiking buddy, a small axe, and a large folding saw on some of my jaunts and no matter how hard I try I just can’t get into using the axe. I’d rather have a large knife.
With that in mind, I was considering the Duke, Woodsman, and Camp Knife. I’ve only owned the Woodsman out of the 3 and I liked it but I didn’t know if the lack of belly would be a hindrance in this role. Does anyone have experience with all 3 that they would like to share? This knife will mostly be processing wood, chopping and batoning. Weight is not a huge concern since it’s replacing an axe.
Any input from the community would be appreciated.
 
I agree, the camp sounds like what you want to replace axe like functions. It's pretty large, so I'm not sure it would get much use other than large stuff- but the same could be said for the axe. Of the 3, keeping all out on a table at camp, I'd bet the Duke would see the most use over the course of the day. I guess it also depends on what other knives you were carrying.

This is pretty much what I was thinking. The Camp seems to be preferred for chopping but it would almost have to be paired with a smaller knife, whereas the Duke or Woodsman would probably be more versatile and could be used alone if desired.
I appreciate the input. Does anyone know if the eBay seller Volley Knives is reputable? He has a ton of Fiddlebacks, I was thinking he may be a forum member?
 
I’ll just leave this here. I’ve never dealt with him. Search liukang or liukang187
