Fiddleback User Pics

I LOVE LOVE LOVE my Hunter! Like I've said before, I'm so happy with it, I'm starting to sell off some off my other knives that I know I'm not gonna use now. This thing is a dream to work with:

This is what is left over from a button buck from this years Illinois deer season. It's the first deer I've butchered myself. I'll never go back. I'm happy to do another deer myself anytime, with my FB Hunter of course!!

Lee's cuterly, Knives ship free and here. Andy makes batches at a time and then posts them up on a thread here. Unfortunatly at the moment he is pretty busy with the machete project and I dont think that he has a lot of time for knives. Hopefully he will have a batch up soon. But he just did a batch for Lee so try over there. Knives ships Free also has a production model of the Recluse made by BRKT so if you want a custom, make sure that its a Fiddleback and not a BRKT. The makers mark is totally different. Go over there and check them out. The BRKT is a lil more affordable, since it is a production model. Here is the batch that he just shipped off to Lee. http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=814895. Check out the Snubnose, one of my personal favorites.
 
1- Woodsman
2- Ladyfinger
3- Arete (I think)

Andy makes a batch once in a while you just have to hope one of them is in it, if it is you better pull the trigger real fast;)
 
It is odd seeing my old woodsman so clean, here is what it looks like today:)

Look what I found!

I was at the Pasadena show a few weeks ago and I always go with the thought that if something really jumps out at me, I will take it home. I had never seen a Fiddleback knife, and Lee Knives had this beauty in the case and it caught my eye. I handled it and talked to Lee about it. He told me a little Fiddleback history and said if I wanted it, I better jump, because they go fast. Well, this was the first row of tables! Better see what else is there. Several hours, and several hundred knives later I just didn't see anything that I liked better than that Fiddleback knife! So back to Lee's table and she was still there ( first day of show) Deal!
I just can't stop handling this thing! Jumped on the forum here, and Andy's website, and feel really fortunate now that I grabbed this when I did, I am hooked. I see many more Fiddleback's in my future. Would love to find a Recluse with orange scales to be my go to backpacking knife. (Easier to find in the woods) So I think this guy will stay in Elk camp for general use, and breaking down and butchering. A little big for my taste in a carry knife for hunting, but it looks like andy has that area covered with other models. This knife has gotten me excited about knives again after getting pretty bored with what I was seeing out there.
( think 3/8 thick, 12" blade,recurve,camo,tactical prybar!)
Good work Andy! Beautiful, functional, hand made, cutting tools.
 
man, what a cool post! Very glad you like my work. Please ask questions when you have them! Check out the Bushfinger.
