Fiddleback Collections

Thanks guys. Tip of the hat to Andy and the crew .. cause these things are works for art for sure - but when you put a matching group of them together .. it's mind blowing.
 
I feel I owe you price of admission to that show. I debated that BC for days from bladeco. Got the maple burl BF instead. Oh what could've been!

Bud,

I'm glad to see another piece of the puzzle fall into place for you today. And it is a Super Ben knife to boot. I love to see a theme come together. Congratulations on an amazing matching five piece group. Something tells me that that group is not done growing yet.

So you gonna pick up that matching Bushfinger on eBay?

Looking at your pics makes me double think the wood grips. Up until now I've only been interested in the Emerald Burlap, but these things look awesome!
 
Love seeing the collection pics!

Will, that's a nice collection of Bocote, DI and Ruby Burlap. Needs more Ruby!

Bud, that BEB group shot looks awesome. :thumbup:

My currents below.

Full group shot. But I think a couple of these may be on the way out.

I like angles. :thumbup:

The contemplated after effects.

Just the G10s. Needs more mosaics!

From a different angle. :)

And just the GGHBs!

Great shots Kirkwood! I love the matching Camp and Hiking Buddy. That Padre was a good find also. That model is at the top of my wish list.

Very nice Will! Love the diversity. You know what else I love? Every one of them has a patina.

Awesome stuff Kirkwood! Not sure when I've seen that much G10 in one place. And the Herringbones....
 
My Tuxedo sub-collection is very slowly growing (thanks joe).

Nathan, I have the same EDCII with 5/32" and an orange pin stripe, TT that I got from Shane. Even the patina looks about the same. I carry this every day in an RLO pocket sheath weak side, and it gets more use than any other knife I own. On the 4th I was at a gathering with my daughter's family and friends where we were doing a lot of shooting and a little bit of blowing things up. A complete stranger saw the pommel sticking out of the pocket sheath and commented "nice knife." I did not unsheathe it and show it to him, but I did tell him who the maker was. If he is a knife nut like the rest of us, he will show up here one day soon, if not already.

Cool MVM, but I wish you'd stop bringing more sharks into the tank. ;) :D

The EDCII is a great knife. Fun shape. Comfortable. Good slicer with the high grind.

Here's the complete set of my black handled Fiddlebacks. Most people wouldn't consider these sexy, but I love them for a good, hard working, user knife.

Awesome collection photos Kirkwood! You by far win the prize for most interesting collection in my mind.


Thurin, I love your choice in fiddlebacks. I like seeing your dark side with these recent photos!
 
Here are the few that I have been able to pick up since being infected by the Fiddleback!

Really loving the Green (or is it Emerald) Burlap scales.

Now I just have to decide which one of these beauties will be accompanying the machete on our next jungle/caving trip.
 
I believe that's Evergreen or Green Forest.
I love the diversity of handle collection you have!
I have yet to own a wooden handle.
