My New Fiddleback :)

[salad]

I seem to have a bit on an addiction to Fiddleback forge knives at the moment

This is what I collected from the local customs office this morning, its a fiddleback bushfinger in Jade green. I like it a lot

I like that ghostly green look, very nice knife.

Must admit i like american makers

I like the jade green, not sure about the orange accent though. However still jealous. The bushfinger is a pretty knife. Nice one!

Great score! Loved that handle color combination.

Love the Bushfinger, mine is natural canvas with an orange liner and S35VN steel:



Very happy with both my Andy Roy knives

been eyeing up a Ladyfinger for some time - only simple wood for me though...

Love the look of that salad, had my eye on these Fiddleback cats for a while.
Just thinking that maybe that handle is a touch narrow for me? How does it feel?
Cherrs.

The Ladyfinger is suppose to be a Bird and trout knife and the handle is a bit slim for really pushing it, but still works fine with me (large hands, long fingers). The Bushfinger has a fuller handle that is a bit less elegant, but is better when really forcing cuts.

Hi Chris

The handle on this one is a bit slimmer than some other bushfingers I have seen, but the handle has plenty of belly to it and is quite big over all, about 4.75 inch in length. I have massive hands and it feels great to me . I have only used it so far for food prep at home and a bit of whittling on the balcony at night as I don't yet have a sheath for it yet .
I have a sheath arriving tomorrow (via ups) and will be taking it out to the woods/mountains for an overnighter this weekend


Heres an in hand shot fer ye ( I have big hands , most gloves don't fit me due to finger length)



Here is a couple of photos of my fiddleback hunter and fiddleback bushcraft karda for comparison , I will do a photo of the bushfinger next to the hunter for you, when my FB hunter comes back from luckylee for its sheath fitting

The handle on the hunter is 5 inch
