Behind The Scenes @ Fiddleback Forge

Just a friendly reminder these knives are for “Preview” not “Pre-sale”.


Walked in this morning and spotted this on the table

Someone got the donations kicked off

For those that don’t know, it’s a type of beef jerky from South Africa. Dirk Loots introduced the guys to it en route to the last Guild meeting. It’s all the rage in the shop now.

I think that it’s going to turn out nice.

I’ll get more knife content as the week progresses.


More to come as time permits.

Thanks for looking!

Questions & Comments welcome.
 
my poor Sylvrfalcen was left alone in the dark and dirty when the biltong disappeared. those Savages

Looking good! Sweet osage Sylvrfalcen coming down the line. Glad to see more AEB-L as well! :thumbsup:
 
Can you post up some Stainless heat treat pictures. Are you guys foil wrapping it or using a coating?
 
We need some fiddleback guardless designs like the OKT Warthog for cutting board work.
 
Gaucho, Woodsman, the rare Padre or even rarer Santokumuk...

A Gyuto with a bullseye (tube filled with resin) would be perfect
 
Hello gents,

I've been undergoing a profound change in my blade preferences, selling off parts of my fixed blade collection, and have come to find what you sharks have long known to be true... Andy's work is amazing. I hope to take a dip in the shark pool this Friday, should the model I'm on the lookout for be offered. Any friendly words of advice? I've read through the stickies hear, so I have a pretty good idea how to proceed... in theory... which won't mean much when the frenzy begins. But I'll do my best to keep up and have fun.

I'd ask for help from a seasoned shark

Have everything copied and ready to go before 3pm EST. Don't do any last minute posting because there's a post delay within a certain amount of time. Also don't be afraid to ask for help if it's your "perfect" knife. There are always guys who like to participate in the frenzy, but aren't always looking to buy. :thumbsup:
 
Thanks guys--I appreciate your insight.

So:

1. I'm guessing the list of knives appear before 3pmEST? I'm in SoCal, so that's 6pm for me. Is there is a thread that lists the knives, and another in which you post to actually buy the knives with an "I'll take it" and the cut/pasted description?

2. Should I make it known (here?) which knife I'm looking for? Yes, I have a perfect knife in mind; there is a very specific knife I'm looking for, and then I have some flexibility in terms of handle material. After lots of research, reading, and comparing... and lots of practical use of other fixed blades, I'm 100% sure which Fiddleback I'd like to kick things off with. Of course, my guess is one will likely lead to another... but I'd like to start with one in particular.

Thanks again guys--
Anthony
