Hey y'all. It's my first post here. I been incomes t with Roy and told him what I was looking for in a knife. He suggested the Bushcraft, Bushfinger, Ladyfinger and a couple smaller knives. The two in question look really appealing. For those of you who have held them both or own them what can you tell me? I have medium to medium/large hands.
Also, any pics of them side by side?
 
Also look at a Hunter.
 
BTW. The answer to your question is nobody. Nobody has both. I've only made one Bushfinger. Mist has that. I sat down recently and re-drew it a smidge because the handle was a little too close to the Ladyfinger for me.

I saw that knife that Mist has. Very very cool knife. I love the scale but it would be cool to leave the bolster either carbon fiber or leave it micarta and replace the rest with wood. I also really like the end tang being slightly exposed. not much very very slightly just in case anyone or me decides to hit the end of it making the knife go into wood. Not a steel or concrete:D
 
Or you could do what some of us have done and buy several! I love my Bushcrafter for outdoor stuff and my Bushboot for EDC. If you don't like the knife you won't have much problem selling it to one of Andy's many fans.

That does look really awesome as you can see, that's how he did one of the hiking Buddies...well, minus the tang extension. This is another one I want badly too.

Since that is now my knife ( :D ), I will whet the appetites even more, quote myself, and re-post an impromptu review I did in another thread a couple of weeks ago:

"You've got your eye on a great knife.

I finally really used mine this past weekend. Prior to that, it was just a few fun little sessions in the kitchen. But this past weekend I was backpacking in the Glass Mountain Range in Mono County (CA), and took it, and used it on food, for various minor utility cuts, and to make some odd, useless, but fun little wood sculptures out of very dry lodgepole pine wood while we sat around camp Saturday night.

Wonderful knife. Great control and capable of surprisingly fine work while also being able to do fairly substantial work. For my medium-sizeish hand, it fits very nicely. It's fairly light for its size too, which matters a lot to me. My companions were all quite impressed that what to their eyes looked like a really burly knife (their reference for a good knife is a simple SAK) could produce such controlled, detailed carving. One guy was also impressed that it shaved the hair off his arm after I was done for the evening.

Sorry about a lack of pictures. Great knife; thanks Andy!"
 
Cool to know IW. Glad to hear of the use! Pics?
 
Don't discount these two models either. Hunter and Bushcrafter

After using the Bushfinger a while I can tell just looking at it that it is a great knife. Would love to see some more pics of it though :)

Ha! I am the first to have one, and have the original. That is so cool :D

Now I sit here at my desk whittling with it (wife still asleep :) ) digging through posts looking for pics of custom Recluses while I wait on mine to be made :thumbup:
