Fiddleback Friday - 01/09/15

The last two standing! Better grab them quick.

Anyone have an OD or Dark Earth Glock to match this with?

2015 0109 26 - Big Sneaky w/ OD Green micarta over black w/ white pinstripes, Tapered Tang, 5 Mosaics, convex on 3/16” spalted 01 steel - $435

K9 w/ sandblasted Black canvas over black w/ orange pinstripes, SFT Tang, convex on 5/32” 01 steel - $150 w/ kydex sheath

I wonder if this would serve as a mini chopper. Looks beastly! Might just have to test it out.

Today was my first dayon this forum (any forum for that matter)and thanks to a few nice people, one in particular who gave up his knife for me, I was able to come away with a great knife. However, for a future friday, how does this work "timing wise". Does fiddleback post the same time always ( today was 2:48) because the minute fiddleback put them up more than a dozen members already knew what they wanted and posted in the thread.

Pics are usually posted here: http://public.fotki.com/FiddlebackForge/ which is how people know what they want. Also instagram @Fiddlebackforge.

The "It's Friday" thread usually gives an indication of when the thread will occur a couple of hours before.

Thanks JAYLUPARK,
I am PSYCHED to get this Lignum Vitae Bushfinger
I have wanted a knife with this material for a while, but couldn't find a knife I liked.
This is amazing stuff. As hone noted, it was used in many nautical applications.
It was used as shaft bearings on a WWII Sub (USS Pampanito)
Several of my friends from the Carribean and West Indies are familiar with this wood.
Especially one from Guyana. Another name for this tree is Guayacan.

You'll get the hang of it pretty quickly. I just watched a few weeks without even trying to bid. I got lucky on the week I actually had money, the bidding was slow.
 
Well that was fun reading. Nothing but class around here.

What, no HB?

Surprisingly, that Bone Palmer is calling to me, though. Nice score, a2.

TJ, we have a sweet little guardless HB at the shop that almost made it into the thread today. I was worried about the word count being too high and left it out for space reasons. Would you like first option on it? C-Stahl gets second. I'll post a picture tomorrow.

Does fiddleback still make the lonestar model? I have seen them online and they look real cool, but they dont promote them on the website. Are they discontinued?

We don't have much at the shop currently but there were a few at the dealers a while back.




Two left in the pit - Big Sneaky vs. the K9.

Thanks for the advice lol! Is this the same thread that will be used next week, or is it a whole new thread?
 
New one each week. So, many hit reload on the Fiddleback bladeforums page over and over until the thread generates. But the It's Friday thread is the same every week. There is also a good selection of choice blades on the flea market (one of the sticky threads) at any point in time, and at the vendors listed on the Fiddleback Forge website.

A sticky always stays at the top of the forum, like so:
