Woodlander FB18

CajunMike · #1

I just got a Hossom Woodlander FB18!! Scored this one on Ebay. (Great price!) I took my time and waited for the right knife at the right price. I have a short list of must have Spydercos and I check Ebay regularly for one of them at a good price.

I love it. It certainly exceeds my expectations for a production blade. The handles are gorgeous. Green is my favorite color. It's much heavier than I expected. Not battle ax heavy but I could certainly use it for chopping if the need ever comes up. This one will probably see more kitchen duty than anything else.

I just wanted to share my excitement with people who could understand what I'm experiencing. There's nothing like a new knife for a knife junkie!

I took a quick pic along with my Street Beat. The sun was going down so its not quite the quality you guys are used to seeing around here.

Fixed blades I own so far:
Temperance PE
Street Beat
Mule (With Pink Ivory handles)
RAT 3 (My only non Spydie purchase in 4 years)
Woodlander FB18!!

Cheers,
Mike

I brought it to work today. Wish I had a dollar for every time I heard "WOW!".

I hear ya, I would have liked to go bigger too but I figured that would be pushing it with the boss. :D

It really is a lot heavier than I thought. Your right, it is one good looking knife. Next I want to save up for the Rock Salt.

Cheers
