Hey Everyone,

I'm looking to see if anyone can share a comparison pic including the Bushcrafter, the Bushfinger, and the Terassaur (and the Recluse for good measure if anyone is lucky enough to own all four).

Also, to any of you Fiddleback users out there, what are the differences in the philosophy of use between the Bushcrafter, Bushfinger, and Terassaur? Originally, I was partial to the Terassaur but everyone's pictures and high praise of the Bushfinger has made me take a second look at my initial decision on which one to pull the "trigger" on.

Thanks in advance!

*Edit* I have read through Maw's threads and am not lazily posting this before doing my own research. Handle fit is one of the most important aspects to be personally as I have pretty large paws and wear between an XL and XXL glove depending on brand. I also tend to like a little bit over a 4 inch blade for my user knife.

I have gorilla hands. Here is a Terrasaur in my hand. The handle was comfortable and the blade lenth was good. I ted to want more blade length as well. I've purchased two KPH's from Andy and those handles feel good in my hand as well.

Thanks for the great example photos there Brother. That's a beautiful blade... I've been digging the dark black micarta scales with the red liner/pins. Keeping my eyes open for either one of those or a set with blue handles/pins (though the black/blue burlap is pretty slick too).

Your mits dwarf that Terrasaur and make it look like a mini-bushcrafter, but still I like that the handle is longer then your hand is wide. I hate it when I can't get a full grip on the knife. How does the handle on the Terrasaur compare to your KPHs... do you have a preference between the two in regards to grip comfort? It looks like the KPHs may fill out a bit more. Regardless, thanks again for taking the time to share your thoughts/photos.

It's always a pain in the you know what when a knife maker has so many useful looking models. Do I want more point or more belly... a wider or shorter blade... a high or a low grind... Andy sure does make the choosing process painful.

To everyone: I know that even though each has its strength, all of Andy's bush models can handle a wide verity of tasks but if you were to highlight a single strength or his bush designs, (Terrasaur, Bushcrafter, KPH, Bushfinger and/or anything else you feel like mentioning), what would they be? Basically I know that each one is going to get the job done and a lot of the decision process is purely personal preference but I'm still curious what ya'll dig about the various designs. Thanks all

I'll try to get a couple pics of the KPH as well for ya
 
Heres a Recluse and a Bushcrafter. I usually wear gloves in size Large.
The Bushcrafter feels big in hand but performs flawless. Havent used the Recluse yet but it feels rounder but still a good fit.

Just so you'll know, that's a Recluse, and a Bushcrafter, not seeing the Bushfinger :)
