Here is this week’s Behind The Scenes @ Fiddleback Forge. This week there is not to preview
per sa. We are on a shortened work week and not a whole lot of production going on. This week is primarily dedicated “getting ahead”. The photos are random shots from around the “Forge”

Just a reminder this week’s Fiddleback Friday sales thread will be tomorrow.

Fiddleback Friday is Wednesday 12-23-2015 @ 3:00pm!!!!


“Standard” greeting from Oscar

This is the great phone-capade of 2015..Cubby “lost” his phone and it halted work @ 3 companies today. Andy went one way & Dylan went the other...im not sure what Allen is doing..

Retracing Cody’s steps….only to find the phone where he left it.

There is a phone finder tool called Tile. Very useful.

I didn't realize you had a forest out back. Ever hike out that way?

Cool photos. Of special note to me are Allen's new models ... awesome. :thumbup:

Another cool thread, Phillip!!!!! It's fun to see the shop and team from different perspectives!!!!
 
There are two knives in between the Phillellow Nessmuk and the Starry Night knife. One has green pinstripes, the other (one I am curious about) has natural bolsters/liners and what looks to be maroon micarta? Any information on said knife?

Whoa great looking batch. I don't want to alarm anyone but that is the most killer pinecone ever in Allens tray. And that green cloud magma combo so awesome.
