I had both in my possession and decided on the kephart. It has a thinner blade which I prefer and thicker scales for some reason.usamadeblade had a 5% off special going on. However both are great knives.

I don't have direct comparisons but here is a production Bushfinger

and here is a Fiddleback comparison thread

I bet one of the dealers would be willing to take a picture for you of no one else has one.

This has got my attention. I am confused. I read on the fiddleback outpost site
https://fiddlebackoutpost.com/collections/mid-tech-production-knives/products/kephart
5/32''

and then https://www.knivesshipfree.com/fiddleback-forge-production-bushfinger-black-canvas-micarta-s35vn/
5/32"

Maybe there is a website typo.

Fiddleback Outpost has the thickness of the Kephart mislabeled. The Kephart is 1/8

I let them know, and they have corrected it.

 

[Fiddleback Outpost]

Yup - that was our typo. Thanks for finding it (and for Brian letting us know).

 

[Fiddleback Outpost]

There ya go!

That's a Hiking Buddy and Kephart.

 

[Fiddleback Outpost]

Ah sorry - the OP said Bushfinger and I jumped the gun and grabbed a Hiking Buddy. I don't have a Bushfinger in stock here. I'd grab some from the shop, but as I recall the shop is out of that model as well, so anyone looking for a Bushfinger needs to get one from a dealer that still has them in stock.

 

[Bmurray]

Whitty has some in stock. Maybe he can post something.

lol .. I'm really not familiar with the Kephart model either so I've been watching this thread and that HB really made me question my sanity in trying to figure out if the Bushfinger was a Bushfinger or a Kephart.

I sent Whitty a PM on here and on fb with a link to this thread.

Lots of pics of the Kephart here, sadly there is a pic that includes both the Bushfinger and the Kephart further down the thread...but it only compares the pommel end...

Thanks for the help. I am trying to better understand the differences in these two beauties. I'm new to FF.
