Hi all

After a small delivery drama with my local postal service, I finally received my first Fiddlebacks. I am blown away by the build and finishing of the knives. I will definitely be back for more.

I will let the pictures do the talking now.

First up is a Duke w black bolstered brown canvas, Tapered Tang, Convex on spalted 5/32” A2

Although most of people will choose leather sheath to go with these knives, I prefer kydex sheath. I requested Eric Lind from Mashed Cat to make me these sheaths. They fit like gloves and lock securely with a loud firm click. These are what I love about Eric's work. He also tried to make the color of the kydex to the handle color.

Now I need to find time to bring these beauties into the woods to give them a good workout.

Those are some great looking knives Don! I especially like the looks of that duke. Those kydex sheaths turned out great. I might have to look into those. I really like kydex too.
 
I can relate to sweating, and sometimes swearing, USPS delivery hiccups. Glad they made it to you OK. That Duke is...wow! Enjoy it.
 
Your first 2 Fiddlebacks are quite the pair. That Duke is :thumbup::thumbup:
Congrats on both of these.
