For Sale: Fiddleback Forge Leuku
I did my first ever knife review on the original Leuku Andy made back in April 2014. I liked everything about that knife except it had a handle heavy balance due to the SFT tang and the weight was a little higher than I liked at 7.0 ounces. I stated in the review that the same knife with a tapered tang would be something special to watch for.
A little over a month later, I scored this Leuku with a tapered tang and nice high grind on the blade. What a differance that made in weight (5.7 oz.) and perfect neutral balance at the index finger. This knife feels lighter and more lively in hand than most of the 4” models I had tried up to that point.
Here is the original Fiddleback Friday ad and description:

I have had the opportunity to check out and handle a good number of Andy’s Leukus since 2014. This one remains the lightest and best balanced one I have seen. I have used it lightly for some food prep over the years, but it has mostly been held in reserve.
The following photos are all recent to show that it is in great condition with no patina or scratches on the blade.
This deal includes a custom leather sheath made specifically for this knife.
