Hi guys, in case some of you have never heard of FBF I thought I would share mine.

They are made by Andy Roy out of GA and he makes some insanely beautiful knives, Tapered tangs, rare woods, and perfect handle shapes make them some of the best most usable practical knives in the world IMO.

He has a subforum on Bladeforums where he sells his work every Friday.
Here are my two Bushcrafter models, one in Bocote and on in Osage Both with tapered tangs. They only weigh in at 5 ounces! very strong yet light weight. both are 5/32 thick at the hilt area then taper down quite a bit.
