Your DREAM Fiddleback

Ok, since the advent of the new fiddle stamp and a couple of other thoughts, I do now have a dream Fiddleback. A Woodchuck, tapered tang 5/32" O-1, 3/4 height convex grind, beefy handle with black bolsters and antique canvas scales, stainless, mosaic, and carbon fiber pins, and that fiddle stamp on the blade in the same location as the one in the teaser pic in this weeks Friday batch :)
 
So many of them but lately I'm loving on the EDC, Nessmuk, and would love a 2nd Hiking Buddy, maybe with Scandi grind. In 1/8"
 
I've got a new one: 1/8 scandi or 5/32 convex Arete with skeletonized tang and "Bushfinger" handles, preferrable in Cocobolo with black liners
 
I want a Runt... some burly, or super cool wood, a little color in the spacer and tapered tang. A pocket carry knife. I don't want to pick the color or wood, I would want to artist to do his thing...
 
I'm thinking my next FB will be a Bushfinger in tuxedo, 1/8", tapered, O1, and with 3/4 height convex.

That or something with pinecone scales, those are amazing.
 
Well...I have pretty much every knife I will ever actually need now...I think, but still want a few. After processing a pork tenderloin with one of Andy's 1/8 SFT knives, I think one of my dream Fiddlebacks is a 1/8 SFT guardless Woodchuck in O-1 with a high grind, in OD or emerald green, with natural bolsters and a mosaic pin thrown in :) Heck, with the height of the WC balde even 5/32 would probably work just fine :D
 
It worked. I asked for a big sneaky pete and Andy delivered. It looks like a awesome design. A big sneaky pete or woodsman will be my next purchase. I wish I would have jumped sooner on that osage woodsman a couple weeks back. Something about the woodsman appeals to me. I think its that frontier era style design of it. I'll be watching fiddleback fridays for one of my own.
 
Well, I have a new dream Fiddleback... I want a thinner Camp Knife with Full Height Grind for slicing, Tapered Tang and some Sexy Burled Scales. Yep, that would be my Thanksgiving and Christmas turkey and ham knife! :)
 
1/8" 154CM tapered tang EDC in almost any nice wood. Boxed elder burl, black palm, ash, curly maple, etc...
