Models, Tang-Types, Steel Thicknesses, & Weights

[schmittie]

Mist, I'd participate with myfull tang scandi Terrasuar, but it may be a bit deceiving for anyone looking to purchase new. Andy doesn't do much scandi grinds anymore and I don't believe mine is skelotonized either.....

im lucky to remember the model of my knives

For reference, may hands are 4" wide (@ the knuckles) and 7" long (heel of palm to tip of middle finger)... I also suck at photography; all knife pics are for referential purposes only, not glamour shots ... although, I took the liberty of cleaning the funk off of a few prior to this effort!

Thanks Phil; I'll probably add a few more outside shots / angles in the next day or so , but the collection is getting there


Michael & Martin; I shall add you both to the list -- it is a long, but distinguished one

Great post Will! In the hand pics are great for reference. Thanks for taking the time to do that. Add me to the list for that camp knife!

 

[Dcaggie06]

Will, your collection is quite epic. Right now, you are front runner for post of the year. Those in hand pics are outstanding and extremely EXTREMELY helpful in deciding my next FB to shark.

You sir, are a scholar among men.

PS Now i want my Duke back!!!!

 

[xxwjtxx]

Thanks for the complements gents -- glad I could give back a little to the community!

Hasco:I will add you to the list, it is a bit shorter but equally distinguished

Dcaggie06: Why thank you sir, more info = better sharking long term! The Duke has found its new digs quite comfortable, as to include some nice Heber pants to wear around the house :thumbup:

 

[Mistwalker]

Wow, great to see this thread growing like this, thanks for adding your models guy!

Will...I'm just speechless man!

 

[xxwjtxx]

Glad to be of service; especially after the insurmountable amount of information you have posted in the forum!

 

[Szilard]

Does anyone know the blade WIDTH in inches of the Asp, Scorpion, and Wasp/Shank models? Very curious.

 

[M.FREEZE]

Hey guys, earlier I was checking the weights on some of my similar sized knives, and I got to thinking. It may be helpful to the new folks looking to pick up Fiddleback knives if we pitched in on a thread with photos of various models, along with their specs and weights. We all seem to enjoy coming up with new ways to show our Fiddlebacks, and I thought this could be a show place and help with research for people looking for specific sizes and weights all at the same time. I know we all love to chat, about our knives and in general, it is one of the things I love about this group. To make this thread more effective as a research tool, I'd like to ask that in order to chat you add some/a pic(s) and the specs of at least one your Fiddleback knives per post (to start with anyway, who knows what will happen once we have most of them listed ). If we only do one knife per post, it will give us more opportunities to chat I start off with the Bushcrafter I have


Bushcrafter:

Overall..............8.25 in / 21cm
Blade length.......4 in / 10 cm
Steel................5/32 / 4mm O-1 Tool Steel
Tang Type.........Tapered
Grind.................High-saber convex
Handle material...OD canvas micarta with orange G10 liners
Weight..............6.2 oz / 175 grm

The patina and overall look of this knife is awesome. When I picture a "work knife" this is what I imagine.
