Not sure if I am following the purchase history correctly but I did not see the Python Bushboot go.....If thats the case, I will take it, if not, my bad

I am still not sure if it was available, but if it was, it still is lol...I am withdrawing the claim to it. If anyone else wants it, its (potentially) available

 

[joarthur]

sorry... I'm gonna have to wait. man that 2015 0116 30 – Camp Knife w/ Emerald green burlap over black w/yellow pinstripes50, SFT tang, convex on 3/16 spalted 01 steel - $490 is so tempting .. would you trade for anything? I have some really sweet Puma's (like original white hunters in good shap ect.) and Survive knives ( pretty much full line in mint including EDC4). I'm not sitting well financially right now because we had to make a lot of long distance medical trips for my boy this last year. do you guys take payments or maybe trade for a authentic native art cane made of pacific yew wood with a octopus on the top and more carvings below?

I know you probably just take money but I figured whats the harm in asking

It can be tempting to overspend and accumulate knives, tech, automobiles, clothes, food, and the various flavors of our passion.

However, even as we support the talented folk here at Fiddleback Forge, it is appropriate to reflect on the root of such purchases. Are we spending on a tool we need, a recreational novelty we can afford, a collectors curio? Or, are the roots of spending springing from a rush of emotion, a desire to escape, a dopamine surge, or the push to own more, to control more, to consume?

I think many of us would fall into both categories at times. We are not here to judge. However, if the blade just isn't in the budget, we can still appreciate the art of its creation. We may admire it like a rare bird in flight: with a genuine honesty and sense of wonder, knowing that it will be gone so quick that even photographing it is out of the question. The chase, the moment, the memory... These are of the highest value.

With that in mind, these high quality blades are waiting for the right owners:

2015 0116 04 – 2 Finger Karda w/ Evergreen burlap over black w/ lime pinstripes, Tapered Tang, convex on 3/16 spalted 01 steel - $280

2015 0116 07 – ED Karda w/ PIB herringbone burlap over black w/ white pinstripes, SFT Tang, convex on 1/8 spalted 01 steel - $265

2015 0116 13 – EDC II w/ Nat Canvas micarta over black w/lime pinstripes, Tapered Tang, convex on 5/32 spalted 01 steel - $265

2015 0116 16 – KE Bushie w/Crimson micarta over black w/white pinstripes, SFT Tang, convex on 1/8 spalted 01 steel - $290

2015 0116 29 – Bushcraft Senior w/ Nat. Canvas double bolsters over green Black Ash burl, Tapered Tang, convex on 3/16 spalted 01 steel - $450

2015 0116 30 – Camp Knife w/ Emerald green burlap over black w/yellow pinstripes, SFT tang, convex on 3/16 spalted 01 steel - $490

[Tim the Wizard]

There was also a big sneaky in OD green left over from last week. It may be at the shop or headed to a dealer. It was a really nice piece.

 

[COLongshot]

There is a sneaky pete on knifeconnection (2nd page) and a big sneaky at USAmadeblade

 

[mtcowboyblue]

Hey thanks for the suggestions baron and long shot. I've been wating for the perfect tapered tang sneaky pete for probably a year now. I will not settle for anything else. Unfortunately the planets and my funds need to align at the same time..

 

[Bamboo]

Knives are shipping today. Machetes tomorrow. I'm hoping you all received the email from the usps w/ your tracking # in it. I tried something different this time and have my fingers crossed that solves the problem. It's more work on our end, but hey, you guys are worth it.
