Fiddleback Friday 2/8/13

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! I missed a convex 1/8" Bushfinger with a TAPERED TANG?!?!? Poopie!! I hope that kind of combo is still on the table for future designs. Well done Mr Roy. It looks as if you are enjoying showing off your talents ;)


Case_XX, congrats! Nice score.

Agreed!
 
*cough cough* KPH or Hunter with Maroon Linen over Black G10 or Canvas with a white pinstripe with dramatic 3d spalting*cough cough* ;) Before April 1 or may 11th ;) :-D
 
Well...I have slowly scrolled up and down for about the last hour it seems. Lots of fantasizing going on in my head right now. Really nice batch of knives there Andy!! If I could afford it, I would take that KE Bushie so fast it would have made heads spin. That is pretty much exactly what I hope to replace the one I sent to Chris with some day.

On a happier note, the Bushboot arrived today. I have yet to find adequate words to describe just how happy I am with this knife. After preliminary shots today I have concluded that it couldn't be more perfect for what I need it for. Awesome job man, very nicely done!!

+1 Love the 1/8 tapered tang convex bush finger
 
You are a true artist Andy!





I always thought knives were the coolest thing growing up;

...but man, you make some beautiful knives!!

I've always liked drawing out cool knives I would like to have,

but I never could have imagined handle materials that look so great.

The combinations you choose; you have a great eye/imagination

Your knives are gorgeous!!


Andy, great work, love it!





Side note: very jealous of Shamr0ck: I am only now seeing this weeks batch and was scrolling down to buy that 3 finger joe!

CURSES!!!!! Haha. Good Snag!! That is a wicked looking knife.

Ii hope to see some posted pics of the set!!!

Man, Rob, I apologize, but I can tell you right now that that combo isn't going to happen. I've done the maroon over black, and never liked how it looks. The maroon is much better looking paired up with natural fittings. The black just doesn't make for enough contrast.

You know I wasn't even thinking about the contrast but I can really see how it wouldn't work. I just really like the look of that maroon linen.
 
I will take the 2013 0208 07 – KE Bushie, Maroon Linen over natural canvas with a white pinstripe, Tapered Tang, Convex on 5/32” thick steel - $290.

Thanks Andy. I will make the paypal payment later today.

The maroon micarta is beautiful, but only gets darker over time. I think black trim only gets lost with it.

Nice score! That one is beautiful, you have no idea how many thoughts ran through my head over the last twenty four hours trying to find a way to make it happen.

I agree the material is gorgeous. Hard worker too. Ages prettier and prettier. Its good. The natural is a long sight better though. Get you one done that way. Its a good combo!
