My new Bushfinger from Andy's Christmas batch made it, and it is truly a work of art! This one is a little off the beaten path, with black on black scales and black pins. The orange pinstripe is also something new, and just sets this knife off.
We just had a cold snap here in the north-east, so it'll be a few days before I'll be able to get it out and play with it. But I have to say that this is the most comfortable knife I have ever held in my hands! This one has the beefy 3/16" blade, so it will be a great all-around 4" blade.
It is razor sharp, with Andy's nice convex grind. I'm loving this thing. It fits very snug in the sheath as well, and has great retention. This is a big deal to me as I don't even want to think about losing this thing...love the sheath too - very nice!
If I had to say if there was down side as a first impression, it would only be that this knife has only four 1/8" pins vs. the five some of Bushfingers come with. Yes, I know it makes zero difference in real world use, but I just can't get over my nature of loving over-built tools...
Without further ado - my Fiddleback Bushfinger!
The unveiling...
(Sorry - took this one before I wiped off the leather sheath dust...)
The 3D spalting looks just amazing...
