That is a beautiful stack of Shadetree goodness. (Who dropped the Ruby?? Lol)


I enjoy all the behind the scenes pics. One of these days I hope to make it down to the shop.
 
Heck yeah! I agree, that new hammer finish is awesome! And more F2s!
 
I love looking at all these "behind the scenes pics".

Very cool!!
 
Glad to see the boy is hard at it while I'm kicking it down Mexico way. ;)
 
Well, since Phil is usually behind the camera, i decided to grab a few shots of him.

The first is from yesterday, monday morning storm in the shop......

Thanks for the compliments on the hammer finish guys, I will be using it more along with my existing hammer texture.

I too like the look of your hammer finish. Is there any reason for it other than aesthetics? Also, care to comment on your choice of steel? I cannot remember seeing any W2 being used by Andy or other members of the Fiddleback crew, and would be interested in hearing about why you chose to use it.

Keep up the great work, Chris! I know I am not the only one that really likes your knives and enjoys watching your work mature.

I have really been enjoying the "Behind The Scenes" threads over the last few months. Other than pissing on the floor, I think Phil is doing a great job.
 
Here is some of Allen's stuff found laying around

carbon fiber & koa:eek:
