Ordered my first.... And second.... fiddleback!

First off!! Welcome to the @Fiddleback Forge Family!! I will warn you, once you've been bitten by Andy's Fiddleback there's no turning back!! LOL

As far as the recluse, I've not seen that little drop in the tip of a recluse ever. There is a good chance @Bmurray had this knife and broke the tip. OH NO!!! Just kidding Bob!!
Seriously though, it looks unusual to me but maybe Andy had a one off he did that to. What is the blade length on this from handle to tip?

There are tons of guys on here that have a lot of history with Fiddlebacks and you may get several opinions.

EDIT: check this link out of Fiddleback Forge specs and pics of knives

Welcome to the sickness! I'll be waiting to see your next one! I barely remember when I had only one Fiddleback. Andy makes great knives.

 

@rileybassman1 - Welcome to the Fiddleback World! Enjoy your Recluse, and remember....we like pictures.

 

@rileybassman1 No dip in the tip on a Recluse. Good looking knife though. Use it well.

 

Welcome to the family. A brief disclaimer: it’s not our fault if you start buying knives once a week and at the end of a year you’ve realized you’ve been bitten by the bug! Just kidding!! Whether or not your Recluse had the tip broken (@Bmurray ) or not when you get it in hand take pictures and send them to @VANCE. Likely he’s busy but he’ll probably be able to tell you more information. There’s also the Spa Treatment at @Fiddleback as well. Sounds like you’ve got a unique one!

 

@rileybassman1 you'll want to sign up on the fiddleback forge website to get newsletters and first opportunities to new Fiddleback Knives on a weekly basis. Also watch for special group buys that @VANCE does on occasion. Oh yeah! you'll meet a lot of great people and make many new friends but we are not always going to be a good influence!!! LOL
Right @Fiddleback Outpost @Outpost Allison ??

 

Yeahhh buddy! Welcome to the club @rileybassman1

 

Hi & Welcome!
While not common it can happen during the final pass on the spine..
If you decide it drives you nuts, let me know & I can send you a shipping label. It's a quick & easy fix

Welcome. You made a great choice. Anytime anything bothers you about a Fiddleback Forge knife you can get a label from us to send it back and choose a refund, replacement or repair. There is no risk in buying a Fiddleback.

Glad to have you aboard.

 

@rileybassman1
Peter is good people and so are soo many others in this community that has been built around Andy's knives.

 

It's always fun to talk knives, especially Fiddlebacks. I think all of us can harken back to when we first discovered Andy's knives and acquired our first Fiddelback. It was fun to re-experience the thrill of Dean's excitement in acquiring his first knife from the Forge. Since my personal collection has grown somewhat over the years, and in many cases I have duplicates of my favorite models, I was more than willing to offer him the opportunity to scratch the itch after his first spider bite.

BTW, over the course of several PM's it became very apparent to me that Dean is "good people" as well. We're fortunate that he found our little family. I expect that we can all look forward to seeing his future posts including photos of his knives being put to good use harvesting game where the deer, antelope, & elk roam free.

Now, about those commissions......ha,ha,ha !

 

This one doesnt have the updated BDB mod. Only my son Adam has the recluse and he wouldnt sell one

 

Yeah, you're done, 2 Fiddlebacks in two days. Welcome aboard.
