Jerry, have you ever considered a career change to "FF Shark Consultant" where you share your speedy secrets?

Nice score btw, looking forward to my sylvrfalcen arriving today [emoji106]

Please tell me about the Longfellow! I'm interested, but couldn't find any specs (blade length, handle length, etc) on the Internet.

Very nice model of Fiddleback, and one that only pops up occasionally these days

Mr Phillip,

From that comparison pic thread, we really need a Gaucho (or a couple). A Brisket w black/orange, a black commando G10 or a Tangerine Shade tree w black/white. THIN as possible btw. 3/32 TT or 1/8 TT.

Great thread to reference. Thanks

I set the Gaucho pattern out for Cody & Kyle to scribe earlier in the week.

Thurin did the heavy lifting, i just searched "longfellow" on the forum

The Gaucho really is a great pattern. The one I have is 3/32 and slices like a laser, but I really want one in tapered 1/8 later just because I like to error on the side of strength...I never know when another opportunity for some crazy experiment will pop up in the bush, and I will use whatever knife I have on me. So I tend to put them under more stress than most people. I would say I'd rather have tapered 5/32 with a high grind like my Woodsman, but I have never seen a 5/32 Gaucho. But to be honest, I have worked this 3/32 pretty hard with no ill effects at all, so I would be fine with 1/8

Nathan always does a stellar job on his threads. The threads he and Phil have put together have been a huge help for me over the years.

I am really surprised that Longfellow is still around. Wish I could afford it, those don't come along often, and that's a damn fine example.
