I was looking at my Woodsman earlier when I was slicing some bacon for breakfast, and remembering the wandering I have done with it.
I picked it up at the Blade Show in 2013 so I have had it almost 3 years now, the same year my wife picked up one of her favorite shirts. There is actually a story behind her liking the "I Bite", and I have a scar on my chest because of it from one of our wrestling matches when we first started dating 13 years ago this year...
It quickly got introduced to the temperate rain forest I live in. It matched a Bushboot I had, that my oldest daughter now has.
I love to cook so the Woodsman has spent a LOT o time in the kitchen with me.
When I moved to Michigan it accompanied me as I explored new woods that summer and autumn and studied new plants.
It was my fail-safe knife as I tested a lot of other knives out in a frozen wilderness, and while I put the 1/8 convex KE Bushie through it's paces in a harsh environment.
The next spring it explored a new world with me as I watched the colors return to the world after four months of nothing but white. It was there for the first times of trying some new foods as well.
And it's still here hanging out with me today with a new friend
So, I'm curious what Fiddleback knives you guys have gotten the most attached to over time. Which Fiddleback has become that reliable old friend you have so many memories of?
