Behind The Scenes @ Fiddleback Forge

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

This weeks batch for glue up

Allen drilling the scales

That’s right….gorilla tape & zip ties

Once the drilling is complete they get handed over to Kyle
He’s scribing the knife blank on the scales

Pins are inserted to keep the knife from shifting

Somebody got into a fight w/ a fan last Friday. He has an appointment w/ a Dr. today to get a referral to a surgeon

The show must go on

More to come as time permits.

Thanks for looking!

Questions & Comments welcome.

OUCH on the fan!

First pic looks like John and Allen are about to have a throw down. Or maybe its just Allen saying "Dude, why are you wearing my shorts again!? I'm telling Mom."

that's what we call "John's face"

Did I see an Esquire in the mix?

I would be cracking up the ENTIRE day! Such fire in his eyes

Please please let John be known here-forth as Emperor Ming! Someone needs to bust out a Sharpie if he's ever caught napping.

Maybe rebrand his business to "Emperor Ming's Sharp Things"

VANCE So how's that finger doing?

it's ugly but still all there

 

[VANCE]

Andy described it, while he was bleeding all over the office Friday as " the most pain he had ever felt".....that's pretty impressive for working in a knife shop.

He was back grinding 5mins later

total badass

 

[Fiddleback]

This forum has issues. I like it.

 

[Bmurray]

real men take a shot of whiskey and sear that cut on a red hot, heat treated blade. that'll stop the bleeding.

 

[Fiddleback]

It wasn't a cut really. The fan busted out the end of my pinky like a zit, then battered the flesh till it was dead and black looking. You could look into the end of my finger, split 3 ways, right up under the nail. Shredded. Healing quickly though, and no hand surgery necessary. The pain was stupid bad. The nerves were fried, and sent pain all over my hand and arm. Later that night I was convinced there was broken bones. But I didn't waste time heating up a blade. I just went back to the grinder and finished 10 more 120's while the blood filled my glove. Real men capitalize Real when its the first letter of a sentence. Bless your heart.

 

[VANCE]

Allen is trying to learn knifemaking by osmosis or acupunture

Real men capitalize Real when its the first letter of a sentence.

I didn't think you southern boys knew that

ive got a pic if anyone is so inclined

 

[Warrior108]

I just want to know who's turn it was to be watching Andy to make sure he doesn't stick a fork in an outlet, put his fingers in the fan or otherwise.

Reminds me of this scene. hahahha
