New but excited. And a question.

I appreciate everyone's help. A Bushfinger is definitely on my list.

Of course, being me, I ended up buying two 3" Fiddlebacks. A Bushboot and a Hiking Buddy to start. So we'll see how they feel and go from there.

i know you were looking for stainlesss, did you get either of them in the CPM 154?
 
I'm going to echo the consensus as well and say Bushfinger. I love the shape and ergos of that blade and its why I also love the hunter which is almost a larger bushfinger! I also agree with the comments about steel thickness and tapered vs SFT. Almost every one I've held feels a little different and its far too easy to justify keeping one, two or three of them, convincing yourself they are different, lol. My favorite is the first I sharked, 1/8"SFT black ash burl. It is the thickest handle one I've had and just feels perfect in hand. I even got one in 5/32" for heavier tasks but it still doesn't feel as nice as that thick handled 1/8"
 
I love ladyfinger. but my hands are relatively small and I like slimmer knives
 
I have two BFs and a BC. They are all different and they are all awesome. First BF was 5/32 TT. Second is a SFT 1/8" Scandi. Totally different feels, but each super nice in its own respect. Then I have a 1/8" TT BC which is out of control awesome. So smooth and just glides through whatever I am cutting. If there is one recommendation I can make from all three, it would be (in my opinion), if you are going for a good all around camp knife at 4" I think I would go 5/32 over 1/8". Other than that, you can't go wrong with either in my opinion.

Like everyone says, in 3 months time you will probably have both anyway.:eek:
 
The two new additions. So far I'd say the Hiking Buddy fits my hand better, but the Bushboot is growing on me. Both are very impressive.
