Fiddleback Friday - 05/10/13

[Fiddleback]

As always, my first priority is to thank all of you. Fiddleback Forge depends on y’all, and we hope you love the tool you buy from us.

Hi folks. Getting close to the show. Things are rushing at us fast here. I’ve got 10 knives to offer up for sale today. I hope you like them.

If you are coming to Blade Show, please join us for dinner on Saturday evening at Fogo De Chao’s. Its meat till you drop. I will get pics of the t-shirt posted this weekend I hope.

As promised a pic of the Competition Cutter – not for sale till the show though.

The prices this week are without sheaths. I am lucky enough to work with both Heber Ellsworth and Rick Lowe. Both make fantastic sheaths that are completely different from one another. I appreciate your support for them as well.

All of the steel this week is 3D Spalted 01.

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.

Attention!!! The paypal address is: fiddlebackpayments at att dot net. Please describe your purchase in the payment notes.

Shipping is included within the US. We do all our shipping on Thursdays.

perfect timing

 

[Andre Basset]

Oh what beauties! What are the lengths of the respective knives?

 

[sloth357]

You make excellent knives... and you posted this quite LATE in the morning for you (thanks, though I'm knife poor) Go west coast buyers!

Oh and the new designs are very welcome and might push me into finding ways of purchasing one soon..

 

[Shamr0ck]

Andy - another stunning batch. LOVE the bushfinger (009) but alas my knife fund is empty.

 

[PharaohX3]

That Kep looks awesome, Andy. Love the desert ironwood on my scandi Bushfinger, very handsome wood.

 

[rega25]

I love that curly maple and the monster hunter Andy

 

[daswann]

[Fiddleback]

[chainring]

Monster Hunter is awesome.

 

[saucyCT]

Sweet pre-show batch Andy! Thanks for still offering some beauties here and not saving everything for the show. Will you have pictures of your show blades anywhere? That would be interesting to see what you will have on the table.

[herpingmad]

really really love the full height grind on that 5/32 bushfinger! No tapered tang and it'd be absolutely prefect!!

 

[HWF]

Wow! Beautiful batch this week. Hopefully someone snags that hiking buddy soon because it might pull me too hard...

Monster hunter and the finger are amazing as well!

 

[NoFair]

Good thing the Recluse is scandi and I already have 2 Bushfingers

 

[knutelut]

That monster hunter is well nice, Andy, could you please state the handle & blade specs?

 

[Fiddleback]

The Master Hunter has a 4.75" handle and 5.5" long blade.

 

[Mistwalker]

Beautiful batch of knives Andy, that Comp Cutter is to drool over! What is the steel thickness? That HB handle combo looks vaguely familiar... Man I love that SP model, been hoping to save up for a dagger version but a convex with a swedge would be sweet too. I really dig that Master Hunter, really sweet grind and awesome spalting!
