I have a Fiddleback Bow Legged Chopper and a Bow legged Joe, and I think I found my next one. I hope there is a Blaze G-10 version (gotta love the OJ).

Now there's 2 things that should go great together BRKT and Fiddleback.

Since FB is especially known for his ergonomic handles and really there's no other knife company except BRKT that really makes a great production handle.
 
And also, BRKT is the only production company that I know of that does convex.
 
That looks really good. I like how it looks like a FB still, very nice blade design on that one.
 
We don't have final pricing figured yet, I think they will start out around $195 delivered with an excellent new sheath.

Yep, I was just noticing how similar the grind on the A1 I have is the the Delta Foxtrot. I'm still more impressed with Dylan's grind but they are very similar.

Funny I was just reading the other day on the Cold Steel site where they had written out that while the convexed blade was the strongest design that it was impossible to effectively mass produce. I sat and wondered over the fact that all of us who own Fallknivens and Bark Rivers are in fact owning an impossibility :rolleyes:

the reason is both companies have skilled people doing the grinding instead of a machine. That is the difference.

The only way to do a convex grind is by hand on a belt grinder. It is one of the most difficult grinds to do because there is no set angle at which to grind. There is alot of "feel" in doing this grind.
