Fiddleback Flea Market

This one started life as a hemp-wrap over leather Nessmuk. Nice symetrical grind and fantastic spalting! I wanted a smoother profile on the spine so I removed the handle materials and reprofiled the spine by removing the thumb ramp (this also removed the maker's mark, btw). The profile transition is nice and clean... looks great. My intent was to rehandle this in Osage but I never got around to it. I really like the profile without the thumb ramp and it actually feels pretty nice in hand with the thin leather scales. Leave it as-is as a super light weight skinner, rewrap in hemp or remove the leather and install custom scales of your own choice. Never carried, pristine blade and edge. $185 First "I'll take it" rules. Price includes PP fees and US Priority shipping. (no international shipping, sorry)




Its been a bit since i last asked, but i'll throw in an extra 30 bucks for this if you ship to Finland? I really like what you've done with this muck :C
 
PRICE DROPS! Fire Sale on the Renegade
Hello Friends!!!
It has been a VERY long time since I've dabbled in the forums. Work, family, life changes, etc. You know the drill. I've missed the interactions here and I am sorry for my absence.
I'm sure we'll catch up in due time, but until then, I have a few beauties up for grabs that deserve a new home.

Pricing is based on PayPal F&F (I'm sure I still have some credibility here :)), USPS Priority Mail shipping within the CONUS. Please no trade offers.
**Please note: I have an extremely busy work schedule these days. I may not be able to respond to posts immediately, but will certainly get to them promptly.

Left to Right:
1. OG, and I mean OG Fiddleback Bushcrafter: 5/32" CPM SV35N with *Experimental Spalting (see below) Black burlap scales / Black Bolsters / Canvas Pins. (NEW) $425.00
* Apparently Andy's spalting technique did not take to stainless steel too well and this was one of his first attempts. This is some Fiddleback history for sure.
2. Drop Point Renegade: 1/8" A2 steel / Camelthorn Scales / Black Liners / White Pinstripes. (Slightly Used, no sign of wear) $275.00 > $255.00 > $225.00
* Camelthorn is pretty scarce from what I know. I also have a sheath for this one. It's included.
3. OS Ladyfinger: 3/32" A2 steel / Desert Ironwood / Black Liners / White Pinstripes. (NEW) $300.00 > $275.00
* The deeper belly of the OS Ladyfinger blade is definitely where it's at in my opinion. Probably my favorite OS model.
4. Hiking Buddy: 3/32" A2 steel / Curly Hawaiian Koa / Canvas Liners / White Pinstripes. (NEW) SOLD
* The chatoyance on this KOA is stellar. Definitely presentation grade.
5. Esquire: 1/8" A2 steel / Rosewood Burl / Black Liners / Blue Pinstripes. (lightly used, little sign of wear) $275.00 > $255.00 > $240.00
* The burl on this knife is amazing, especially in the sunlight. The blue pinstripes are a handsome compliment to the various hues of the wood.

Thanks for looking!

Glad you like it but I'm going to pass on international shipping. Sorry...

Hey xcentus, sorry but the Esquire sold last week in an updated post: Page 822, Post #16,428. The listing you are looking at was from a couple of weeks prior. Sorry, I'll update the old post as well.
 
Wanted:

If anyone has anything that might fit in the middle of these two to make some-what a trio and bridge the gap, let me know. A 4" blade with some sort of a combo of natural / antique, and olive drab. Shots in the dark - they have never worked in the past, but they are worth a shot, in the dark (lol)

I have several to trade as well. Merry Christmas and God bless
