Was fiddling with my set of Fiddlebacks and decided to get a group shot just for fun and comparison, so here they are.

Nice set! Which is your favorite?
 
Great looking family! Some pretty wood there! I second Andy's question - which one is the fav?
 
Nice group of Fiddlebacks man, I really like seeing that old school Terrasaur around, is that a blackwood handle? Yep, I'm curious as to your favorite as well.

Thanks Mist, its actually some dark cocobolo, my lightings not the best today so its hard to get the color and texture to show up on that one. One feature I like about that knife is its a bit wider in the handle than my newer Fiddlebacks and fills my hand a little better. My favorite looking handle of the bunch is the Buscrafter, I like the yellower Osage on it and the blue G10 pinstripe.
 
Hey P&G, I just wiped it down with mineral oil a bunch of times, you might be able to get the Arete back to yellow with some light sanding. Good to hear that you are liking it!

Ah, I have a couple in blackwood and it looks similar in that light. I think there were also very few made with the tang extension so that one would be a good one to hold onto.
