I'm really liking that black micarta bushfinger Thurin. Very nice spalting too. Great looking knife!

Thanks! It's a good one and one of my favorites. Andy nailed it on that one (although it's not like he doesn't on all of 'em)

I'll take 'em!

Hello Fiddleback friends,

I have been more or less laid up after right ACL reconstruction surgery a week and a half ago. I am slowly on the mend and looking forward to 2015.

Here is a “Two for Tuesday” of a couple things that I will post in January when I am more mobil again.

First, I will post my comments on Nathan’s (thurin) scandi Arete pass-around knife. I will compare it to my convex Arete and let you know if I prefer one over the other.





“J-Dog” is ready to help with the review and weigh in with her opinion also. I have a feeling that her input will be heavily influenced by which knife cuts more delectable treats for her.





I also scored a Gaucho in December. I will be reviewing that model also. Here it is next to the Arete for size comparison. The Gaucho has both a longer handle and blade and more finger clearance for kitchen work. Stay tuned for more details and comments.








Happy Near Year everyone!

Phil

This one goes back a bit, and is as much a throw-back-thursday pic as it is a two-for-tuesday...but I like it anyway. My first machete and the first Bushfinger. A very capable team of tools!

Wow guys. Epic duos today.

I posted these in the Blackwood thread, but it's Tuesday, so what the heck, I'll put them here as well.

That taper is about perfect

That taper is about perfect

Both of those blades are 1/8" which makes the taper look pretty darn good. It's not near as thin as some that I've seen, but I like.

Every pair posted today looks fantastic. They show a nice cross section of the models and handle configurations Andy has made. I would be proud to own any of them, but I have to say that Rob's old school bolstered brothers take the prize for me today. Do you know the FF vintage of those?

Thanks everyone for the photos today.
