Guys, I can't tell you how much I appreciate all your support and patience with me as we move into the new shop. My family and I are very grateful that we are able to make Fiddleback Forge knives, and that y'all buy and use our tools. Thank you.

I've got a few to show y'all today, and a bunch are available. First up I'm just posting a pic of this Nessmuk. I think it may already have a buyer, but it came out very pretty, so I wanted to show y'all. The handle is cocobolo over black canvas with an orange pinstripe. The cocobolo goes so well with pinstripes IMO. I used 1/8" thick 3DSpalted 01 for all the Scandi knives in this batch!

This Terassaur is a real beauty too. This is one of the two knives I'm pulling back for Blade Show. Its got Burlap over nat can and SS pins. The 5/32" thick 3D Spalted 01 blade is full height convexed.

These two Bourbon Street Skinners are not available, but pretty as all get out.

Its a shame the photo studio still isn't built and you can't see the nice crisp grind lines... Oh well.

That Osage/black/nat can tapered Bourbon Street Skinner is one of the classiest handle combos I've ever seen. Wow, what a batch, Andy!!!
 
That Bushcraft Karda is a stunner! If I wasn't holding out for the convex version I would have snagged that one. Must resist temptation:-)
 
I'll take the black on nat bushie with orange! Sending msg...

Email sent.

Here I was thinking I really liked the nat can and OD with an orange pinstripe much, much better than the black, but DANG, that black and orange is looking sweet!

Do you mix up the black micarta you use? Canvas, linen, paper? Some of the black micarta looks different from the others. Just curious...
