ANNOUNCING - Fiddleback Forge Machete's

[disduster]

those look fantastic :thumbup:

 

[HikingMano]

OH MAN. MUST HAVE!!!!!!!!!!!

Man, if I were made of money, I'd take one of each....but I think the 12" and 18" are still calling to me

 

[atcgriffin]

Where do we sign up??!!!

 

[Fiddleback]

No signing up yet. I'll start a list when we get them in though.

 

[never too sharp]

16's:

Oh my. If I had to choose one (not bloody likely) this would be it. Are you SURE there isn't a sign up list yet?

Can't wait.

 

[Fiddleback]

No need for a signup at all. Once we get them in I plan to do a push and just have them in stock. I ordered 600 blanks.

 

[FortyTwoBlades]

DAMN! I thought I was going to want the 18"...but that 16" just took the top spot on my list! That's AWESOME! :thumbup::thumbup:

 

[Fiddleback]

The samples are in!!!

 

[chainring]

Pics or it never happened! By the way, I've been using my Fiddleback-modded machete quite a bit lately - looking forward to these!!

Same on all accounts. By the way, my Fiddleback/Collins 323 fits perfectly in a CS Latin machete sheath.

I knew I was right about the 16"er! All of them look badass, but I'm definitely still in the 16" fan club since page 1

Too bad I don't have any need for a machete, or the cash to throw at one

Also, 600!? Dear lord!

 

[FortyTwoBlades]

Also, 600!? Dear lord!

I know--it's not nearly enough, is it?

 

[Fiddleback]

Man, they look good. Some troubles to address, but nothing serious IMO.

Yea, the shipping is expensive, so a larger order keeps the cost per blade down. 600 is what I could swing with my taxes...

 

[FortyTwoBlades]

I'm sure you'll be reordering in no time.

 

[Fiddleback]

Dylside, Halfserrated and myself did a bit of quick testing on one of the samples yesterday. Just wrapped the handle with duct tape, and put a quick edge on it. The edge held well, it was batonned with a stick and with a rock. Also bent the hell out of it and it snapped right back into place.

12" er. This knife is going to be so cool.

Test subject (18" model), photo's after testing:

Testing. Three blind mice.

 

[JC in SC]

Those look great.

 

[GRIM 62]

I've got alot of property clearing to do,an 18" looks like it would fit the bill.

 

[chainring]

That 12 is so nice! Can I get one with cocobolo on it?! For my Sunday-go-to-meetin' rig. And a burlap micarta version, for the hog hunting rig!

Dylan, are you going to be able to do kydex for that one?

 

[Fiddleback]

Cocobolo will be an option. Yes sir.
