Fiddleback Forge Arete - A2 - User

[DgitlRedBeard]

Up for sale is an "Ugly Betty" user. I mean that because it is not pristine and perfect. First off when it came to me the previous owner had used the spine as a striker with flint. I cleaned up the spine with a scotch bright belt on my 2x72 belt grinder. It worked like a charm but also almost completely removed the makers mark. At the right angle it can still be seen but wanted to be up front about that. I have also sharpened and used the knife quite a bit. It is still in great shape as you can see from the pics. The second blemish with this knife is that there is dried epoxy in the lanyard hole. I am guessing it somehow did not get cleaned out during the original manufacturing process. Ok that's the bad. The good, the handle ergonomics are spot on, it is sharp and ready for use. The A2 steel holds a good edge and has been plenty tough for me. It is a great knife but has not seen use in recent years so I am passing it on.
