Wow there are some great knives in this thread! :thumbup: Too many to single out. I'm envious of some of the photo skills here as well. 
This is not technically a "user" photo yet... These will all start seeing use as the summer progresses and heads into hunting season. I'll get some better quality pics posted as I do.
This is basically just a family photo:

Whoa Dave! Nice family pic. I thought I had a lot of Fiddlebacks. You've got me beat by one. At least until my Ladyfinger arrives (can't wait). When that happens, I may post up a group shot as well. BTW, is that one of the Ladyfingers from Blade?

Thanks Kal-El! Yes the Ladyfinger is from Andy's evening sale from Blade. I've been tweaking my collection lately. I had to sell my Terassaur
to get the maroon Bushcrafter but I love this Bushcrafter!! Next up for me is another Hiking Buddy. I love bone handles and I want to get my hands on another bone handled Hiking Buddy but with Andy's contours.

Mark I've worked on this for awhile to aquire specific blades for my uses. There are some similar blade lengths but I have a variety of blade thicknesses as well. The Ladyfinger and Recluse are lasers with thinner blades. The beefy Hunter is a beast! The Runt is my EDC.
I'm looking forward to seeing some other group shots! :thumbup:

Morning all -
I'm new to FB knives and just browsed all 11 pages of this thread (added several knives to the 'must have' list as a result) and unless I missed it, didn't see one picture of a Bow Legged Belt knife. I picked this up from KnivesShipFree after seeing it weeks ago - got busy - forgot about it and was very happy to see that it was still available. Not yet a 'user' picture and I'm not the photographer many of you are - but enjoy...
I love the colors and the rustic blade.
This little guy came with no pants - so that is today's project.

Hi Shamrock
That looks a great knife mate,
I got my first fiddleback from KSF just over a month ago as well.I have to say my bushcraft karda is turning out to be a great user
Now I have a fiddleback hunter on its way to me too (according to tracking it has just cleared customs so I should have it this week) .
And like yourself I now have a number of knives I would like to get that I have seen in this thread
tis addictive

Nightfly, what kind of meat is hanging there? Is it going to be for jerky?

I found a 3LeggedJoe recently and it arrived over the past weekend. This is my first paper micarta handled knife and I like how smooth and warm the material is. Perfect colors if you went to Virginia Tech -- which I didn't, but the colors are a classic combination and the handle is just as comfortable as my BowLeggedBeltKnife which returned today from Rick Lowe's magic sheath shop. He posted pics in a separate thread with the knife and sheath he crafted. I've posted one below to make it easier to find.

I added another 3FingerJoe to the collection recently and got a chance, finally, to snap some pictures. Here it is along with another fine sheath by Rick Lowe. Rick had just completed a sheath for another member and had the knife patterned already for a sheath - so I didn't need to send Rick my knife this time. That really sped up the process as Rick and I spoke about the sheath and what I was looking for and 4 days later it arrived at the Post Office.
It came with a simple, but functional light brown neck sheath which was well done, but not the way I wanted to carry the knife. I decided to go for a cross-draw sheath this time and wear it above my left hip. Having it ride horizontally helps keep it out of the way of seat belts, chair seats, etc -
Next to Rick's Sheath:
A shot of the 3FJ in the sheath to show how much of the handle projects past the sheath mouth from the rear of the sheath to show belt loop details:
Heber currently has both my BowLeggedBeltKnife and the Convex ground 3FingerJoe so that he could pattern the knives. In the process, I've asked him to make sheaths for both. I have one of Heber's sheaths for my Fletcher Operator425 and it is a nice piece of work. I can't wait to see his creation and am sure it will be just as nice (just different) as Rick's. Once I have them, I'll post a comparison thread very similar to the on Mark (maw) did yesterday.
