I only had a little time to play outside today, before the yard work commenced, and with little time, I had to pick my knife for the outing.

I chose my ESEE3 over the Hunter, mainly 'cause my Hunter has been getting ALOT and by ALOT I mean all the playtime I've had since I got it. LOL. My ESEE3 has been sitting idle for a few weeks now. Its tough when you got so many knives and so little time. Its like having to pick between which one is your favorite kid, it can't be done.

Don't worry, I still love my Hunter, I just have to spread my time around to make sure my other knives don't rust.

I will say this, my hand still hurts alot, especially when I am doing prolonged work with a knife, but, I can work with my Hunter for hours and never feel anything but the usual fatigue that a recently rearranged hand can bring.

I can't say enough about this blade, and I'm sure you guys are gettin' tired of hearing me spout off. Oh well, get over it, 'cause this is one helluva knife.

I love my ESEE's. They get a lot of us. One day I hope to have FBF but I doubt I will end up with one.

There is a reason why Andy is busy.:thumbup: I have 4 right now and some I had to wait several months for and some I picked up as an available knife immediately. Patience will be rewarded.

As I say, "Get in line".:D There are a lot of loyal Fiddleback users that have posted forum reviews and YouTube videos of their Fiddlebacks (that they waited months for) in front of you. Andy regularly posts new knives for sale in his forum and you can sometimes pick them up on the secondary market. Good luck and be patient.:thumbup:
 
Seriously worth the wait. I have owned several and am on a waiting list for a bushfinger. Good things come to those who wait.

Relax guy. I am just fooling around. One less cup of coffee a day may do it. But at the same tie I need a couple of new knives since I sold all my others. Iv'e been in contact with Andy and there are many many orders to be fulfilled before me.

I told you your patience would be rewarded and Andy is busy for a reason (loyal clients willing to wait for months for a knife). I gave you options on how to buy a Fiddleback relatively quickly. I also wished you, and continue your, good luck in your search.
 
I've been on Andy's list since January for some stuff, most of which I ended up buying out of a regular "batch" or from KSF. Even if the handle material wasn't what you had in mind to begin with, his stuff is so beautiful that it's easy to "settle" for something that he has made up already! Frankly, when I see one that sells before I get to it or is made for an order, I send the new owner a PM requesting that they let me know if they ever want to sell it! :) I picked up my first Fiddleback Nessmuk and a Koster 3V Nessmuk that way, and I'm still hoping to hear from at least 4 Fiddleback owners someday! ;)
 
Lee's cutlery has FBF knives in stock right now. If I had the money, a FBF Terrasaur would be shipping out Monday, headin' to Tennessee. Good luck, guys. Moose
