Andy’s note - I love making knives for you all. Thanks to everyone for supporting Fiddleback Forge. It’s an amazing feeling to do this for a living. Fiddleback Forge depends on y’all, and we hope you love the tool you buy from us.
Hi folks. Ken here. My being off the shop floor while my finger heals has landed me on the computer. For the immediate future I’ll be posting the Friday sale thread, freeing Andy up for more shop time.
Allen Surls has joined the crew. Allen is the man behind WAS Knives, known on bladeforums as allen456. He is a welcomed and much needed addition to the shop and it is great having him here.
Adam & Judy have taken up all the slack that came with my being off the shop floor. My finger is healing nicely, and thank you all for such great, positive support. And a hearty thank you to the two of them for stepping up and keeping things running so smoothly.
Blade Show!! June 6-8[SUP]th[/SUP]. Make it a point to go at least once in your life. The sooner the better because it becomes a tradition fast. There's no better way to buy a knife than picking it up in person. But don't let that stop you today of course. We set this Bushraptor aside for the show. Andy feels this is the best handle he’s shaped to date, and I would have to agree.
21 knives for this week. The steel this week is 3D Spalted 01 steel.
Please quote the whole description in your post when you shark a knife. This keeps us from having to scroll back and forth while we sort out the mayhem. Failing to do this won’t mean your call doesn’t count, but it really helps.
Payments & Shipping
Payment may be made to Paypal, or by personal check or MO. I hold all personal checks until they have cleared. This usually doesn’t cause a delay because they usually clear before shipping day.
Domestic US shipping is included in the price of the knife.
International shipping is $40 Flat Rate, even with multiple knives.
Tuesday is Shipping Day.
Attention!!! The paypal address is: fiddlebackpayments at att dot net. Please describe your purchase in the payment notes.
