Two For Tuesday

I know everyone likes their Moras but those rubber/plastic handles make my eyes burn. :p
 
Kris, I can't believe you found a Bushpik. That's a rare one.

Nice ones GB! :)

For me, it's a couple of Kardas, heavy on the spalting please.

Here are a couple of older kardas to contrast Thurin's nice new kardas, crappy lighting but I'm feeling lazy.

 
Two for Tuesday - Bushfinger Edition!

Something old and something new.

The old school Bushfinger was my first Fiddleback purchase. I believe it was back in 2011. Inspired by Brian's (Mist's) review of the prototype Bushfinger. I've since cleaned it up and now, just admire it. Although, I think you can still see some faint hints of patina on the blade. I also have an old school "beater" that I use when hiking, camping, etc.
Currently, the Bushfinger is one of my favorite models along with the hiking buddy. I really would like to take a close look at a Bushcrafter Jr. too.

Oh, and let me just add: The spalting on this A2 steel is amazing!! It has a nice thin taper as well. This knife is a stunner.
The old school is a looker as well. The burl on this one has some incredible chatoyance in person.

Yeah, her her being young and new to knife care, I had almost resolved to just get her a mid-tech version when they came out...but this HB just suits her personality better, and this way she'll get to learn to properly maintain a high carbon blade...or how to clean one back up...or the latter then the former... :)
 
Those are both model reference worthy versions of bushfinger! My grail bushfinger would be your bolstered version in 1/8" TT but still handle on the thicker side.

So many nice knives today!!!

I love the bushpik!!!!!!

The mora joke was hilarious and ... I used my mora companion in the woods with kids this weekend and I have to say that is such a great knife for what it costs!

Those older kardas are epic and that bolstered bushfinger is absolutely stunning!

Both are beautiful, but wow, the spalting on all of the A2 I have seen has been awesome.

Well, I hope you're not all tired of machete combos.

Picked up my bolstered Esquire today during my Tuesday visit. This is my 3rd Esquire .. but by far one of my favorite Fiddlebacks.

Gonna be a go to off duty EDC with my new scout pouch ISP carry. Love this blade.
Been saving that WabiSabi Boba Fett bead for the right knife. Believe this is it.
