Behind the Scenes @ Fiddleback Forge 1/25/2015-

I must concur on the UE Boom; I have had 2 of them for about 2 years now and they still sound and perform great. Plus they are tough as nails. My Mom like mine so much she went out and bought two of them as well.

One of my favorite features about them is that you can pair them up for stereo sound.

Anyways sorry for hijacking the thread, back to Fiddlebacks!
 
sorry if this has been asked and answered before, but why are some blade tips colored in with what looks like a Sharpie?
 
When I get the knife to 120 grit, I dip the tip in blue.
 
Fat boy- I asked that last week. Here are the responses.

Some quotes that explain:

Thanks a lot Andy. Do you have a keen Kanteen container or the hydro flask like Phillip. If not what do you use?

When I saw the Woodpecker in the drawer I started getting hopeful. Then I saw Andy tweaking it and got giddy. :)

I think that would make a great utility/leather knife.

Thanks for the great pics and info Phillip. And for updating throughout the week.

I forgot about that one Phillip. Isn't yours more Runt sized? I like it. I think the Woodpecker is a bigger one. Room for both?
