As far as my research revealed, my EDCII is only the second Fiddie with this handle config. So it's rare to me.

Here is the first.

Here are a couple of original Nessmuks, a small and a large.
The small has a Lacewood handle over red liners, brass pins and lanyard tube and a G10 pin (predecessor of the beauty mark perhaps?).
The large is EIRW over red liners with mosaic pins and bullseye lanyard tube.

This one is a one-off Recluse with a Spooky fat handle of redwood burl over black canvas, mosaic pin beauty mark and bullseye lanyard tube.

@Dcaggie06 -- God, that Curly-Q NEVER gets old!
@Kirkwood -- Man that config is sweet; if Andy or ken ever offer texturized g10, I would love to get my hands on one in that color combo!!
@Forager -- GREAT classics! Thanks for sharing!!

I second, those are great classics! The redwood burl looks awesome. So does the east indian rosewood... where's that been lately.

Curly Q's, unique colors, "old school" and one-offs. Wow! Neat photos guys. I don't have anything particularly unique to contribute, but I appreciate seeing all of yours. Thanks for sharing.

I'm hoping some people pop up with Palmers, Bow Legged Choppers, and Carvers!

The life of a shop knife is a hard one around here.

[Dcaggie06]

i love that EDCII.

Apologies for crappy pics!

Don't see much spalting like this anymore, except on Scandis



The fact it's 5/32 when most are 3/16 makes it that bit more unique.



Kephart with rounded/chamfered pommel (done by Andy to disguise slight flaw in wood) a little unusual.

I'm not a huge fan (notice I didn't say 'I don't like!') of the EDCIIs but everytime I see a pic of yours it makes me want one . . . well yours specifically! That is awesome!

Is that an AreTEETH?

 

[thurin]

Great seeing all these. I'm sure there's plenty of other shop rarities out there.

Bear - that CC is amazing.

I wasn't aware the Carvers were rare, but here ya go Dcaggie:

I was lucky enough to pick this hidden tang scandi hiking buddy up the other day from one of our fellow forum members. I was very happy that he contacted me about it. I think it is somewhat rare. Although I am not a huge orange fan, I actually like everything about this one. I especially like the cool orange kydex sheath made by Mr. Roy himself. With the hidden tang it is really light and it just feels good in the hand. Since it is a 3/32" scandi it just sinks into wood. Very cool set up.
