Behind The Scenes @ Fiddleback Forge

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

Some of the happenings around the shop this week.

These knives are getting ready for the “tops” to be sanded prior to glue-up.

Here Allen is mating up the bolstered scales to make a set.

Chris’s “Pacing trail”

Ivy helps w/ emails and forum stuff.

If you see something like this;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;vjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjippppppppppppppppppppppppppppppjvpvjo{img]mjdo in a response it’s Ivy’s fault. She likes to walk on the keyboard.

S.S.S.

I also see a couple FF knives that have my interest already. Is that 'Merica burlap a Kestrel and is it hollow ground?

The epoxy pit always looks like a war zone lol... I learn so much from these pictures... TIL: tacking the blanks together with superglue then I assum you sand off the tacks holding it together for epoxy..... I've always used double sided carpet tape but removing it is kind of a chore...

Definitely a Kestrel, and that one looks like it may be flat ground, but may just be a thinner blade with a shallow hollow grind.

Hard to say at that Angle which of the three it is for sure, but I'm thinking Big Sneaky looking at the blade to handle proportions.

I don't know Jim, maybe Phillip can enlighten us.

If that's Phillip's desktop pc, odds on they are electric orange, just a dark pic!

Looking great! Really digging how the Surls version of the Loveless are turning out, he has really made it his own:thumbup:

I remember seeing a Cherry Bomb Mini Loveless in a group shot for the Kansas show. I haven't seen it since. I was really hoping it would pop up in a Wednesday sales thread but I'm assuming it was sold in Kansas.
