They are all stunning and just cry out to be used. That Camp Nessie is one of the peaches of the last few months. I love my ironwood Woodsman, it's chunky and comforting and gets better all the time!
 
Thanks guys, there's just something about IW that just never gets old. I've still got a few pieces of burlap hanging around to brighten things up a bit ;)

That is an awesome collection Bill. Great variety of models and handle materials.

Your carbon fiber Toothpik is one of my top two or three favorites of 2014 so far. I have gone back to look at the photos of that one many times. Being a burlap guy, I have to say that your Evergreen Recluse deserves special mention too.

Thanks for sharing the photos. You have done very well this year.

Thanks Phil. I really appreciate the kind words and comments. I really cannot complain at all. My goal has been to get at least one of every model and I am still in awe on how many I have been able to check off. The Toothpik and emerald Recluse are definitely special I agree. Every so often I look at that Tootpik and think that I may start to not like it so much and then I think about how different she is from so many others and I love her that much more.
 
Bill! HOLY ****!

Call the insurance adjuster and UP THAT COVERAGE!!!:D

I really like that patch knife! I am lacking in the smaller F.B's. I actually own nothing in the 3" category. I donated my only 3" & below. I look forward to getting my hands on a bushcraft karda, bushraptor, or patch knife. . . . one day!:eek::eek:
 
Yeah Bill. holy moly. Very nice collection. I took pics of my ten knife collection and was going to post. Now I have stage fright. :)
 
Really nice collection you have Bill, I must say I do like your Curly Q's .
Thanks for sharing your knives. Great stuff!

Wow! That is a great collection Bill! I like all of the blue wood handles, especially the recluse!
 
Bill,
Thanks for posting -- exquisite collection indeed; you have great taste in knives my friend. Among others , the toothpicks are out of this world
 
Bill, that is a great collection! I'm drooling over all the pieces that I'm missing from my set. Nicely Done!

Bartlax4 - I'd love to see your collection.

Good idea Kev, I should probably do that.
Don't get me wrong I love all my Fiddles but the smaller ones, something about them. I think it is that I get to have them with me on a daily basis.

Great collection of wood and synthetics Bill. Need to get a nessmuk representing in there;)

Thank you BH. I have been lucky enough to grab some real beauties and variety in the hunt. Yea, the Nessmuk is on my list but have been putting it off since it isn't my favorite style of knife.

Thanks Hasco. I like the blue and red ones for their ability to stand out from the crowd.

Thank you Will. I seem to remember that your collection and taste aren't too shabby either...:D And yea I agree, those Toothpiks are something...

Nice collection Bill. They are all special, aren't they?

Thanks Mc. You are certainly correct my friend. In the end all of the Fiddbacks are special. I am yet to see one that isn't.

Thank you Nathan. If memory serves you have quite the collection as well. Recall seeing a few that I wouldn't have minded sitting in my stable..

Bartlax4 - I'd love to see your collection.

I'm either a Fiddleback-aholic or a Hoarder. :D

Gee Bud, there is still some bare carpet space in that picture. What's up with that?

Seriously, that is a killer group that you have accumulated there. I love all the sub-set themes you have going on. The Runts. The matching woods. My favorite is your Camp Knife. That one is the best of the breed in that model.

Thanks for sharing the photo. I had no idea that your collection ran so deep.
