That is Andy's Fighter model.
Its a Bushboot on steroids.
Not too many of those around.

Looks like it would be a great field blade, like the Bushboot, but for some bigger tasks perhaps. The design just looks and works, great, big or small.

Heres the original drawing Andy did when he designed the Bushboot. Originally called the Whitler.
The Whitler(Bushboot) in the pic is the first one ever made.
Andy removed this from his sketchbook and gave it to me last time I was in Georgia. I was honored to receive it.
What a cool piece of Fiddleback history to have with my collection.

VERY cool piece of knife history. Am I reading it right? Was the boot knife ("whitler") a collab with Gossman Knives ?

I asked Andy about that. He was hoping to work on this knife with Scott but that plan fell through.
