That's the antique stuff, right? I think it's still new so it might take people a while to warm up to it, especially with the run on Shadetree knives lately.

I like the antique ivory linen micarta quite a bit. It has a great, rich look that I just haven't seen in micarta before and feels more grippy than I thought linen micarta would. If your SP was SFT, I'd be all over it.

Wow. Thats a looker! What model is that?
 
Ivory linen has more of a classic, aged look - kind of a sepia-ish coloring. Post #2275 is a good rendition of the actual color. Had to go outside to get it. Orange liners really pop against the ivory handle and black liners.

Thanks Jon! That Asp was sweet. Folks don't seem to be embracing the ivory linen micarta. That material is very hard to find, Andy went to great lengths to get it - and this is the only SP made with it...very interesting. Different strokes...

Not a huge fan of the Sneaky, but I love ivory linen micarta together with darker patinaed blades (I get mine from a guy in the UK).

Hunter in Ivory is just sweet.

I totally understand. We all have our favorite knives - and that's what makes Fiddlebacks so much fun! I am all about the small knives. Just got my first Runt in a trade, and it's definitely worth the effort. Awesome perfection in a compact size. Also just bought two of Allen's small knives (Bantam and Georgia Traveler) - can't wait for them to arrve!
 
New Cocobolo Bushfinger 5/32, O1 Steel, Tapered Tang for Trade or Sale. Brand New. Asking SOLD! (what I paid) Shipped. Looking for Fiddlebacks in Osage Orange or something in Stainless.

So I have been looking around for a Runt, I know I won't find one for a while. But what do they usually sell for??
 
OP updated

With the amount of quality loot listed on the fleamarket right now (mine & others), there shouldn't be a peep about folks not being able to score an insanely nice fiddleback below cost ;)

Ok folks, new concept here on the flea-market. This will be a standing "for sale" post that I will update periodically as (once again) my fiddleback tastes are changing and I will not sit on knives that I'm not using / intend to use. With that being said, here are the rules of engagement (ROEs); I will update the post periodically, when things go up. I will post a new reply when the OP is updated, in order to let everyone know that something new is for sale. If I acquire new knives, I'll add new pics. I'm lazy (for some strange reason) when it comes to knife photography... maybe because I suck at it , so please bear with the pics provided. If you reeeallly need specific pics of a knife I am selling, please PM me. Which brings me to the next ROE; please do not PM me about knives that are not listed as for sale. Granted if you have an exceptional (fiddleback only) trade, please let me know, but if you are offering cash, hold tight until I post said knife for sale. Also, some knives pictured are not for sale (like I said, I'm lazy and reused a recent group pic)...this means the bushcrafter and campknife . With that being said, all prices will include paypal fees and fully insured shipping to your door via USPS 2 day. Please ensure that this (and all future sales) are legal in your state / municipality, prior to taking receipt of said knife/knives. As always, law of the shark applies -- first "i'll take it" followed by a PM gets the fiddleback goodies!

One final note; I consider the condition of all of my fiddlebacks a "90" or above... I take care of my stuff. If a knife you want comes with a (sweet) patina, fear not that a little flitz and elbow grease will remove said patina. For any knives that are heavy users, I will adjust the listed price to ensure that you have an extra $10 afterwards for a spa.

As always -- have fun, happy hunting, and cheers!

WJT

Pics: (Note - patina removed from all knives listed, also some knives are gone and others are not for sale; whats listed is whats for sale)
