Hey all,
As the thread suggests, let's see those sneakies! The Sneaky Pete has to be one of my favorite profiles (not to mention my first fiddleback); and IMO is one of the most misunderstood design families in the fiddleback lineup. While many will say that the sneaky family is "too tactical" or "too aggressive" in design, I personally feel that they are well designed, highly versatile, bushcrafting blades! Superb Balance, design, shape, aesthetics, and the best fiddleback handle to date (again IMO ;)) round out this one-and-done family of knives.

As always..without pics, this thread is useless, so here are my sneaky profiles (5/32" SFT padouk big sneaky, 5/32" TT blackwood sneaky pete, 5/32" TT ironwood asp) -- three phenomenally versatile knives that could make the argument against needing any other fiddleback (save for a dedicated skinner or food-prep knife)!

Once I get that gorgeous big pinned big sneaky from Friday's post I'll take some pics
 
Besides the BC, the SP handle config is the best. absolute one of a kind. Looks awkward and less versatile, but in hand you know it can do it all. I'd love to see Andy and co develop a hatchet with the SP config. Could be perfection!
 
I'm diggin that ASP a lot! Like everything about it. I really like the pins on the Sneaky Pete as well. Those pins in an ASP would be great. Blue liners are a nice touch.
 
I would post mine but don't want to one up anyone! Plus I have to wait for the wifey to be out of range ;)
 
I believe the thread was intended to be an open invitation. I'm sure being a Fiddleback they are all nice. Once the wife is out of lethal range post it up! OP approval is in the name of the thread.
 
@Whitty: great sneaky -- orange burst and fiddle texturing; very cool!

@Bonafide: wow, that's a stunning group there -- great diversity too! I'm digging that nat can asp :thumbup:
 
Sorry my sense of humor is already dry and hard to sense in the flesh so in the forum it is worse!!!

Thanks. The top one isnt staying here - someone else wants it more than me. :)

The shadetree green is one of my favorites to carry.
 
Somehow more than a few have snuck into my "House of Sneaky". Could be that I can't resist the overall configuration of this model. Trust me , it has nothing to do with the fact that my name is Peter, although that's what I tell my wife when a new one makes the scene :D

Last but not least, the latest addition......Big Papa Sneaky. The balance on this knife is incredible for its size.

So far I've been able to keep all Scorpions at bay by placing dried lavender in my safe :p
 
SUPERB collection Pete --- man that big sneaky is a stunner; not to mention the fine fine collection of asps and SPs! And yes, I've heard that lavender is an effective means to deter the scorpions ;)
 
That is an impressive group Peter. I knew that you would really like the balance on the Big Sneaky. You better add another Guard Owl to watch over your growing collection. :)

Yup .. very nice assortment - but the Big Sneaker in emerald green shadetree is da bomb diggity.
 
I'll post my SP after I get my latest one this week.
Thanks for all the pics!

Bonafide: I have a similar Emerald Burlap SP and it's my favorite too but wished it was a TT.
Is your a TT or SFT?

Mine is TT with neon green liners against nat liners .. but I thought it was more forest green vs the emerald green seen on Pete's Big Sneaky.
