The year was 2014....When KSF was in Oregon, I was close to the store.... Spent a lot of time in there browsing knives. I was in there one day and another customer was fondling a Kephart in Bloodwood w/ natural liners and white pinstripes, 1/8" SFT...I'd never seen a Fiddleback before. I sidestepped closer to get a better look....{in my mind...} "ooooo!, that's a fine looking knife!"... (don't look interested, he'll just want to buy it even more... distract him somehow!)... "Wow, look at those nice Bark Rivers over there!"...not working....use 'the force' {Yoda's voice}... "mmmmm... Koster knife, buy it you should). "oh! that worked, he's put the Kephart down and is checking out a Koster..."forget about the Kephart...just forget about it"... It worked, he's lost interest for the moment...move in fast and snag the prized Kephart.... which I did. At the time, it was the most expensive knife I'd ever bought. Little did I know, I'd get to participate in a similar competitive thrill-ride each Friday and purchase scores of Fiddlebacks in just a year and half. Great knives...great fun...great people!

one of the coolest things I remember from Blade show last year you were trying to buy a knife and were having trouble with the wifi or some issue w/ Paypal. I didn't know who you were as I don't think you mentioned your screen name. Andy walked over & we were talking about the issue and Andy said " Just give Sergio the knife. He's good for it"
I met lots of folks that weekend but that stuck with me.I look forward to seeing you there this year as well.
thats still one of the nicest Bushfingers I have seen
Great story Sergio. That Bushfinger is outstanding! :thumbup:
Awesome story Sergio. That's a sweeet BF.
