hey folks.. just thought i would share some pics of my new Fiddleback Terrasaur... this is just a quick little review and i can't wait to get this out in the woods..
as most of you may know, "the Terrasaur" is a bushcraft knife designed by our very own Joezilla(a.k.a. Joe Flowers) and brought to life by Brian Andrews of Off The Map Outfitters and Andy Roy of Fiddleback Forge.. the Terrasaur is a very well thought out bushcraft knife... Joe did an excellant job on the design.. he combined many different aspects of other knives and merged them into one..
here's some specs:
-9 in. overall.
-1/8 thick.
-O1 steel.
-scandi grind.
-4.125 blade.
-4.75 handle.
-Bocote scales.
-SS pins and inner lanyard tube.
Andy's trademark packaging.. i couldn't wait to check this thing out..
and here she is... isn't she beautiful.. the scandi bug has bitten me hard..
the Bocote scales on this are absolutly gorgeous... Andy's bullseye lanyard hole, is also a nice addition to an already amazing blade..
since the flats on this still have the forge finish on them, Andy put his makers mark on the bottom of the spine..
i was fortunate enough to not only score Andy's first knife he ever sold, but score one of these beauties as well and might i add, Andy did an amazing job on this one... it's been really cool to watch Andy's work progress over the past few years... he has gone from a hobby knifemaker to a full time knfemaker with many cool designs in his lineup...
here is the first knife Andy ever sold.. it was one of a small batch of 6 Nessmuk's that Andy made many years ago... it's got a 3/32 thick 1095 blade with east indian rosewood and red liners.. it even has a cool/rare Fiddleback made sheath... the thing is bomber..
to this day it still remains one of my favorite and most used knives...
with Andy's awesome handle contours, the Terrasaur feels nice and comfortable in the hand... i have Med. sized hands..
the longer handle feels like it gives a lot of extra control when gripping the blade..
like all of Andy's knives, the scandi grind on this one was insanely sharp.. it's almost scary.. it cut notches, carved and made fuzz sticks with ease..
i got this one without a sheath and was eagerly awaiting it's arrival, so i could get started on the sheath for it... it came out great..
thanks again Andy.. this thing is amazing, i am in love.. great job on the design once again Joe...
cheers.. Mike T
