The Fiddleback Forge Forager is a formidable blade that's ready for chopping tasks, but has a pointed tip to get precision work done well also. The Forager is the big brother to the Rapscallion and Gambler models.
The Forager was designed with chopping in mind, but it's unique shape make it more than able to be an all purpose blade. As Andy states about the design, "the Forager was inspired by Chinese blades", although he admits the resemblance to the Bowie family in the finished product. It's also a very challenging design to make, as Andy puts it, "every time I make one I look at it and wonder if I have the skill to finish the grinds on it. Then when that last pass is done, it is a big relief."
Just holding it makes you want to disappear into the wilderness, knowing you're ready for anything.
