Fiddleback User Pics

Cool pic, Vayu!

 

[Tim the Wizard]

Thanks. It is a user that has seen many mountains and plains. Scary sharp now as well.

I can't make up my mind on what to do now. I may dunk it again, but here's my Patch patina as of now. I like how the spalting is taking on color. Still needs stropping, but here she is....

Those GITD scales are just amazing Vayu, great pic!

I did some polishing last weekend, here are some before and after pics:

What did you use, Goober?

What did you use, Goober?

This:

That's a cordless Dremel with a polishing tip (new and unused one on the blade, used one in the Dremel) and some chrome polish. The Turtle Wax polish is crap though, I had to re-apply it 4 times per side to get to this result (and I feel it needs one more round per side before it's perfect). Flitz seems to be a popular product among American knife-users but they don't sell that here in Europe as far as I know.

I must add that Andy recommends against using any kind of power-tools on his knives by the way, so don't do it unless you feel absolutely comfortable with it please.

 

[Stropping Young Lad]

Gotcha.

Yeah, I probably wouldn't go the power tool route. I have yet to try flitz, but you're right. Everyone and their mother uses it in the states, it seems.

Mother's polish also works very well. It is what I use.

Check out Flitz. There are others recommended in The *Unofficial* Fiddleback maintenence, care, optimization, and improvement thread!

Boredom therapy...

Those are some serious curls

This knife is hands down my favorite thing in the world right now. I just can't stop cutting with it. This is an absolute grail type of knife for me, just outstanding!

 

[VANCE]

That is pretty cool to hear
Congrats

Had a little bit of spare time today, so out came the waterstones to give my KEB's cutting edge that mirror finish.

Saturday morning breakfast? Hair of the dog!

 

[Peroni1973]

Nice one Hasco! It reminds me of a shot I took of the first Bushfinger

Great knives guys (and impressive embers from your bow drill work - I have don't it before, but it's a heck of a lot of work for me. Oh, and damn near impossible in the jungle here by the way!)

Good stuff!!!
