Hello guys! We're accomplishing a lot in the shop these days. The machines, and workbenches are in place, and the walls have some of the stuff on them. We've gotten the wood storage project done too. Really all we have left to configure is the shipping room, and the sign on the door. Its really exciting! The GA Guild meeting for this spring is to be held at our shop on 5/12, so we're getting ready.

Today I have 7 knives for sale. The nat and black Bushcrafter in the pic below is the only one that is spoken for in the batch.

The first on the left is a new model. Its got a pretty little handle and a karda style blade. Its handy. Tentively I'm calling it the Handy Knife. The blade is made from 1/8" thick 3D spalted 01. The handle is 4" long and the blade is 2 3/4". The black on black linen micarta handle featires an orange pinstripe. $235 shipped with sheath US.

Next up is a Scandi Hiking Buddy with white linen over nat canvas with an orange stripe. The steel is 1/8" thick 3D Spalted 01. $235 shipped with sheath US. It is pictured here with the new model to give a size of the scale of the new model.

The grinds just seemed really fluid this week guys. These two Bushfingers are ground from 5/32" thick 3D Spalted 01 steel. One is wearing green Burlap over nat can with an orange stripe ($280 shipped US with sheath), the second one has that beautiful maroon linen micarta over nat can with a white stripe $260 shipped US with sheath.

I have two Bushcrafters as well guys. They're ground from 5/32" thick 3D Spalted 01 steel. The first is wearing Wenge and natural canvas micarta $270 shipped US with sheath, the second is wearing green burlap with nat can liners and a white stripe ($280 shipped US with sheath)

And lastly I have a beautiful Hunter wearing cofee bag burlap micarta. It is ground from 5/32" thick 3D Spalted 01 steel. $280 shipped. I don't have a sheath for this one. Anyone want to send it to Heber for a pattern? Thatd be really nice!!!

(Also, check out my cool Hubertus pocketknife. I've wanted one for so long its silly. Got it in a trade. Neato thing. No edge whatsoever when I got it though. Had to grind one on there.)
 
Anyone want a good deal on a sheath for their Hunter? If someone will send me their Fiddleback hunter or buy todays and have Andy send it to me, I'll give them a $22 discount on a sheath for their Hunter. Thats a standard Bushcraft sheath for $25 delivered. Will even take $22 off a fancier Bushcraft sheath (firesteel loop, dangler.....) or a purely custom sheath. All I'd need is your hunter for 2 weeks so that you could get the $22 discount. :)

NewYork - just say "I'll take it" and I think it will be yours. If not not, I may pull the trigger. I'm trying to be cordial seeing that I already own a Bushfinger and you seem to really want one. I would hurry though.
 
I'll take the Bushcrafter with the wenge and orange liner. I don't need the sheath. If your tell me "I got it" include the price and I will send the money asap.

Hi Guys

My first post on Fiddleback forum, been admiring from a distance for a while but stepping out of the shadows now....
Seconds on that wenge bushie if Roger doesn't take it.....just me having wishful thinking :) DAM!!! I learn I learn...have to be quick next time!!! So my interest turns to the last one left........the green burlap bushie.

Andy, sent you a visitor msg regarding the bushie on your profile page since I don't have sufficient priviledges to PM.

I can't believe no one has jumped on that new model! It's sure does look handy, nice design. I really like it. I bet it would ride nice as a neck knife.
 
I have an off-topic question, Andy. What is that folding knife that you have in the pictures along with your knives? ive seen that thing everywhere but I dont know what it is!

Thanks!

Edit: oops..... should have read the bottom of your post... :p Great knives, Andy!
 
PayPal sent yesterday for the maroon bush finger. Now the wait. I'll post pics when it arrives.

Gents, it looks like I have a standard Hunting and a Fat handled Hunter coming for fitting. :) So I am probably good there. But if someone has a knife of Andy's that I don't have a pattern for and you send the knife for fitting, I'll still give you $22 off and custom fit your sheath. VS the Generic fit that I do on the standard sheaths.

The Snub Nose and Bow Legged Joe are 2 I know that I still need patterns for. ;)
