OK guys. I know I haven't been around the forum much lately, but we're working night and day to bring as much to the show as we can. This week I have a bunch of stuff to show y'all, and a few knives for sale too. Lets start with what's for sale.

This week I did a bunch of hidden tang stuff to put on the table. This Bushcraft Karda only weighs a couple of ounces. The 01 steel is 1/8" thick and the handle is black canvas. $225 shipped with kydex sheath.

I've got a full tang Karda with a pretty 01 blade that is swedged out. This one has black micarta scales in the tuxedo configuration. 170 shipped with kydex sheath.

This little hidden tang Hiking Buddy is so light it is rediculous. Black canvas and 1/8" thick 01. $225 shipped with kydex. $240 shipped with Heber sheath.

Also (same knife) check out the new signature. It says, "Fiddleback by AR". Having one mark to put on a knife saved me two hours a week! Boring hours too!

Now. Some of the stuff to show y'all. First up is some of the Duracoated products! The first thing to see is a 16" machete. I have four more 16's getting a Rhodesian cammo pattern. This one is sand dunes!

I had a couple of knives turn out for duds this week. I wanted to see what they can do with this Duracoat, and had them painted. They won't be for sale. Just bum around blades. One Bushfinger ( hidden tang ) and one Bushcraft Karda ( also hidden tang). The BK has yet to be Scandi'd.

I also wanted to show y'all some random knives going to Blade Show. There are 18 in this pile. I have over 50 ready already.

A couple of these hidden tang knives are just out of this world IMO. This KE Bushie is so nice and thin and light its really hard to not keep! As is the KPH to follow. A full two ounces lighter than a full tang KPH.

That hiking buddy is out of this world gorgeous Andy! Nat canvas with bone compliments each other nicely and it is contoured to boot. I like it! I also like the consolidation of your makers mark.

Wow, I really can't believe that someone hasn't snagged that hidden tang HikingBuddy yet. OR the Bushcraft Karda. If you weren't already in possession of all my free spending money Andy I can promise you one of those two would be mine. I bet the extra lightness would make those super comfy for long carving sessions. That bone scaled HB is super sexy as well...you guys must all be pinching your pennies for this blade show y'all keep talking about huh? I looked up the event the other night and it does look pretty epic. Well great work as always Andy; the stack for the Blade Show looks tantalizing as well...I really hope to see more pics leading up to or after the event, either from yourself or from the Fiddleback Forge knives lucky new owners!

BTW the new branding is pretty slick. If it saves you time that you can then put into the more creative and individual design elements of your knives then we're all definitely benefiting from your choice. Looks good Andy :thumbup:
 
That duracoat is pretty interesting... can't wait to see the rest of the blade show goods!
 
:eek: That hiking buddy is 1st class! Outstanding work, Andy. I'm currently drooling over that BLC... :p
 
Wow! That bone hiking buddy is awesome!! The nessmuk in the 18 batch looks awesome too! Is that burlap? Great work Andy!

Any chance you can break a few pieces out of there? I know it is a long shot, but I thought I would put what everyone is thinking into words...
 
Nice to see a Nessy in that pile. Is that a bunch of maroon linen micarta over natural on several of those blades? Hope you have great success at blade this year. I'll be waiting to check out the leftovers if there are any. By the way, I was recently lucky enough to pick up 1 of the maroon linen over natural with white pinstripe hiking buddies from a month or 2 back. It was the convex sabre grind one, and it's sweet.
 
That karda with the swedge is too cool!

Skinny HB too...nice! :thumbup:
 
Hi Andy,
I'll take the full tang Karda for sure...happy with the $30 to Australia too and see your PAypal so say the word 'it's yours' and I'll shoot the cash in now...stayed up late awaiting your posting...
Cheers
Damon
