Favorite Fiddleback In The Field / Woods?

Not the best fuzzy stick. Still getting use to this bushfinger.

Beautiful Bushfinger! Is that dyed curley oak?

Hopefully I can express my opinion of my experiences in shifting between a Bushfinger and a Terrasaur, the oposite of what you've done in a way that will make sense.

I started with the Busfinger as my first Fiddleback. It is a great all-a-rounder. Yet the dropped edge being further below the contact point of the forefinger to the handle than on the Terrasaur, that allows the Bushfinger do better in camp food prep than the Terrasaur, in my opinion, allows the blade of the Bushfinger to have more leverage and apply more force to the wrist, necessistating a tighter firmer grip to have good control when doing things like whittling feathersticks, compared to the Terrasaur.

In my opinion of my experiences, the Terrasaur design is a little more focused on the fabrication-in-the-field side of bushcraft. In making tools, triggers, and utensils, gigs and spears etc.. While the Bushfinger is a little more focused on the camp utility and camp food prep side of bushcraft. But that's just my two cents on it. having used and liked both.

Is that Westinghouse? So purdy. I love how it ages.

It does look like it, but I don't know that I ever even knew for sure which kind of canvas micarta it was, that was 16 years ago this summer. Andy may remember. I definitely liked the way it aged. It looked like wood grain
