Fiddleback Friday - New Model!

[avoidspam]

No, you were correct, but it has been fixed now.




Nice score man, that thing is going to be a heck of a slicer! I'm really looking forward to mine. Not only is it going to be perfect for the photo projects it's going to be the perfect elegant type of knife for the picnics on the side of the river downtown with my wife with a Kleen Kanteen karath of wine, and some nice cheese, summer sausage, and crackers

Those Bushboots do look stunning. Looking forward to the pic's

Thanks buddy! I can't wait to see this sleek Bushboot in my hand I would love to see another in depth review of your Bushboot, like your Kephart review, when it arrives! Your photos, reviews, and vids are greatly appreciated.

2013 0125 10 – Arete, Osage Orange over natural canvas with an orange pinstripe, Tapered tang, Convex on 5/32” thick steel - $290


Mine...

Edited to add: Andy, I am confused because you have KE Bushies above what I think are two Aretes. If the one I said I would take is indeed a Bushie, then I would prefer to take the canvas micarta Arete please. Let me know how to proceed.

The taper on that tang is really sweet!

[in the flesh]

This is probably my favorite batch I didn't buy something from. Looks like the taper on the nat canvas arete got super thin. Very nice!

Will this mean we will see more bolstered Fiddlebacks now?

 

[injected454]

Really like the Assym Fighter as a new model in your line up Andy. A 4" blade seems good size. Really nice lines and those grinds are perfect. I think this one is going to be another winner.

Andy - I paypal'd $$s for the 3FingerKarda earlier today - please let me know if there are any issues. Have a great weekend!

Love the warmth and feel of real wood . . . micarta will probably hold up better. But I love the warmth and feel of real wood . . . micarta will probably hold up better. So hard to decide.

The answer lies in buying one of each! Depending on the scenario...you can bring either one!

Thanks bro. I have you down for 2013 0125 08 - Arete, Nat/Nat w orange

I really appreciate the support. The sheaths come directly from the suppliers now. Thanks again for everything and sorry for the confusion.

I'll take the bushfinger.
2013 0125 11 – Bushfinger, Gem Quality Stabalized Dyed Curly Maple over black with a blue pinstripe, Tapered tang, Convex on 1/8” thick steel - $290
Andy I have to call you though.

You got it! Thats a coveted configuration!

Sweet!

Anything you can say about a story behind the new model? Inspiration? Looks nice!

The large bolster Kephart is a looker too. I like its about a 50/50 combo.

Well, I'm trying to learn to draw daggers because nailing that grind is so fun. The problem is that I absolutely don't like symmetry in knives. And I don't like straight lines much. This is the product of that. During the making, both Dylan and I decided we hated it, but I decided to keep going, and see what a finished knife would look like. That was a good idea. Once the handle was on, I really liked it, and it is some kind of alive in the hand too. I stabbed the plywood wall a bunch in my Rocky Balboa stabbs your ass stance. LOL.

Andy I'll take this Bushboot

2013 0125 04 – Bushboot, Bloodwood over black with a white pinstripe, Tapered tang, Convex on 5/32” thick steel - $260

Great! I can't wait to see what you do with it! Both Bushboots are really something this week.

Great snag @MistWalker... Color combo should meet your writing project needs very well - it is GORGEOUS ----

ANdy - I'll take this Karda -

2013 0125 001 – Karda, Natural linen, Tapered tang, Convex on 1/8” thick steel - $175

Great. Thanks!!!

Andy, if we want a sheath with our knife, is that something we do through you or do we contact the makers directly?

The sheaths are sold directly from the makers nowadays.

Ok, now that I almost hurt myself and beat the crap out of the keyboard staking my claim, and made it , I can relax and say the rest of it. I think that Bloodwood is going to be a perfect earthy color to both compliment and contrast the colors I am going to be working with in a LOT of photographs. Man I'm so stoked!

I can't wait to see the pics.

Wow. They keep getting better and better. Update for you Andy... My brothers loved their matching Bushfingers. Older brother is excited to have it for his deployment to Afganistan in March. I also got a natural canvas Bushcraft Karda for my girl friend's Christmas present. She opened it just before I proposed to her, she said yes. A few days after the ring excitement wore off she was carrying her knife, in Ricks purty sheath, through the house all excited asking for stuff to cut. She loves the knife! Lol. She is now a part of Fiddleback Fridays with me. Thank you for all your hard work and attention to detail on your knives! My tuxedo EDKarda is with me everyday.

Semper Fi,
Dan

Thats awesome! Tell her to post here! Women bring business! I'm honored your brother is going to have it with him overseas. Thank Him!

I'll take the 2013 0125 14 – Kephart Massaccar Ebony over natural canvas with a blue pinstripe, Tapered tang, Convex on 1/8” thick steel - $290

Wow, feel like all my horses just came in!

thanks!

You got it! Thanks!

Hey Andy, I think you've got those KE Bushies labeled as Aretes??? Maybe I'm wrong.
Anyway, great stuff. The knife I've been waiting for just got snagged.

I saw that, but I did cut some CPM 154 last week, so don't dispair.

Andy payment sent on 2013 0125 11 – Bushfinger, Gem Quality Stabalized Dyed Curly Maple over black with a blue pinstripe, Tapered tang, Convex on 1/8” thick steel - $290

Sorry guys

Thanks!!!

2013 0125 05 – Bushboot, Black on black with a lime green pinstripe, Tapered tang, Convex on 1/8” thick steel - $240

I'll take it! I can't let this one pass me by. Lines are too perfect and that 1/8" tapered tang blade makes me want to slice everything in sight!

Rick...looks like you've got a little more work to do?! Both of those Bushboots are headed your way it seems...LOL. Black leather for this night owl, I think!

Thanks! You got it!

Ok, Andy, I see that you have now corrected the KE Bushie/Arete mix-up. And so for the benefit of clarification, this is the one I want:

2013 0125 08 – Arete, Nat on nat canvas with an orange pinstripe, Tapered Tang, Convex on 5/32” thick steel - $265

Thanks.

I've got you straight. No biggie!
