Well, well, well. Its Frida again y'all! I'm excited to show y'all these knives. They'll be going up on the Fiddleback Friday page at 9:00 pm tonight!

This week focuses on two models in the same size factor range. We have two Hiking Buddy's and two Boudreaux's. The Boudreaux doesn't have a huge following yet, but I love this model. Its slimmer and pointier than the HB and has a very open handle design. Perfect EDC knife. A beautiful Osage one was posted recently in the Osage thread and had been carried and used and loved. Hopefully y'all love them as much as I do.

So, without further ado, the knives:

1. Boudreaux - Tapered 3/32" thick A2 w bolstered orange linen. Bolsters and liners are natural canvas and there is a yellow g10 pinstripes.

2. Hiking Buddy - Tapered 3/32" thick A2 w purple linen scales on natural canvas liners with yellow-white-yellow g10 racing stripes.

3. Boudreaux - Tapered 3/32" thick A2 w gorgeous stabilized leopardwood on natural canvas liners with white-green-white g10 racing stripes.

4. Hiking Buddy - Tapered 3/32" thick A2 w bright red dyed Maple scales on black canvas liners with white-orange-white g10 racing stripes.

I also want to thank you for the successful Fiddleback Friday last week. You folks really are why I do this. Thank you.

I'm digging the Boudreaux's profile., thanks for putting one beside a model I am very familiar with, having owned a few HBs. I really like the scallop in the forward end of the handle for the forefinger, looks like it would provide a secure purchase as well as comfort in both push and pull cuts. Looks like a great edc, and like it would excel at a lot of uses.
