FIDDLEBACK FORGE - HIKING BUDDY
The very popular Hiking Buddy is a small bushcrafting knife. Its purpose is to replace large folding knives with a more reliable small fixed blade knife. This is a useful no frills design that excels at many outdoor tasks. Its light weight and ease of carrying makes it very useful to the hiker and for those wanting a fixed blade every day carry knife.
The Hiking Buddy is one Fiddleback’s oldest patterns and has been in production for several years. During that time, it has remained one of the most popular and functional models among avid outdoor enthusiasts, including campers and hunters. Like the other Fiddleback Forge Knives, it is made of rugged, superior materials that truly set it apart from similar models.
This knife is perfect for small cutting chores during a hiking trip, from making snacks along the trail, to light food prep on an over-nighter. Besides the advantage of having a fixed blade that will not close on your fingers like a folding knife can, you can prepare messy food with no worries of it getting stuck into nooks and crannies in the knife handle. There is no argument that a fixed blade on a belt is far more hygienic than a folded blade in a pocket.
