Behind The Scenes @ Fiddleback Forge

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

Chris’s Monday morning routine. Getting the knives & scales ready for glue-up.

Monday vs. Tuesday

Allen working and his work

Allen that reminds me…..Did you ever get that bog oak shrapnel out of your arm from last week?



More to follow as time permits….

Thanks!

 

[Odaon]

Commando Buddy. :thumbup: Looks like another awesome batch guys!

 

[Uncle_P]

Mercy! Y'all gone make me lose my mind.

 

[Onedog]

Holy cow! There are some beauties in there. Starry Night and Purple Shadetree. Some Osage even. Really looking good. Shouldn't have mentioned Allen's Bog Oak shrapnel. Now someone is going to try and shark his arm on Friday.

 

[Gusbuster]

Better tell Allen to get that Bog Oak out of his arm or he might turn into this!

 

[Bill510c]

Allen does work?? Didn't think that occurred any longer...

Ok seriously, great looking batch. And of course Phil, the photos are off the hook..

Someone explain to me how a person is supposed to save for Blade? I've got to stop looking at this thread every week. Killing me, Smalls! (or is it Phillip?)

And Gus...the bog oak think has got me. I'm irrational.

Digging the CPM starry night and the use of buckeye burl. Two cool sustainable materials.

 

[Luca917]

Yeah, that buckeye burl is beautiful. And Abe, please snag that osage BF before I do something stupid. Though I'm usually not fast enough anyway...

Just waiting for someone on here to point out that I'm plenty stupid enough though!

 

[Guhul]

Guess i need to get a loan soon...
Phil, thank you for these awesome pictures. You rock!

This was exactly my thought too!

 

[VANCE]

Thanks everyone
It is my pleasure

So I'm sure this has been asked before so I apologize in advance but what does the coloring on the blade tips signify? Type of steel?

it means the bevels have been taken to a 120 grit belt

Andy still has to do the final grinds

 

[schmittie]

I think blue is O1 and Red is A2. Might show what grit the grind was last


Thanks for the pics Phillip

 

[VANCE]

we dykem the O1 blue and the A2 in red
the tips in blue let Andy know how far he is in the grinding process

sure schmittie
