I don't know what to say about this knife. It may just be the most fun knife I own. I think the big bull's eye pin gives it a slightly whimsical look. The gorgeous wood handle, so typical of Andy's knives, begs to be held. And the diminutive size gives it a toy-like quality.

But don't be fooled. This lil' thing is a cutting beast. I'm biased toward Wharncliffes because of the great cutting power at the tip, and how appropriate a design for this small knife. The two-finger handle is also cleverly formed for different grips and allows for good power transfer despite being short.

My better half seriously eyed the Bow-legged Joe for a while and I thought I might lose it to her mysterious handbag. But since I recently gave her a pink knife, she relented and the Joe is riding comfortably in my pocket now. Still, I'll need to keep my eye on it....

Thank you Andy!!!
 
I really like the Joe too. My bare bones model lives on my key ring. :)

Sweet blade, Rotte. Mine is on the way to me. I had a note from the post office in my mail box saying they attempted to deliver but I wasn't home. UGH - Now I have to wait until later today. I can't wait to get my hands on this thing.

Thanks for sharing your pictures and your experience with this knife.
 
I'm really loving CS's sheath!! Thats a COOL design. Did you do that bro?
 
Agreed, that sheath looks bad a$$. I miss my Bow legged Joe that I sent home with a good friend. I think I need one of those bare bones models. Or maybe a Karda, or a Runt. I've got the Fiddleback bug BAD. ;)

Yeah, it has worked out pretty pretty well so far. I'm going to redo it now that I have a stitching wheel and diamond punch. :thumbup: I think that a kydex version would be pretty simply to make as well.
 
excellent kit
would piggy back well
in camp it would be great for food prep.
i'm a fan of this blade style for use in the kitchen too
buzz
 
Thats a pretty sweet rig though. Makes me wanna make me one.
