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.


Blade Show was a tremendous success for us this year. Between a big rush on Friday and a couple of our dealers at the end of Saturday we sold everything we brought. It is a great feeling to be sure. Thanks to everyone who made the trip and we hope to see you again next year. We didn’t make it to Fogo’s after all, but know for next year to make a reservation well in advance!
We have a very small batch of knives for you this week. We’ll have a full batch next week. We also scored a great variety of beautiful handle scales, lots and lots of gorgeous woods that you’ll be seeing over the next several weeks, some of which has made it onto these dueling 2 Finger Kardas:

We are proud to showcase the individual work of our talented crew here each week with a few of their knives for sale. Shark them in the thread as usual, but please pay the maker directly.

5 knives for you this week! The steel is 3D Spalted 01 steel and one stainless Bushraptor.

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. Editing posts is a no no.



Payments & Shipping

Payment may be made to Paypal (fiddlebackpayments(at)att.net), or by personal check or MO. We 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.

As many of you know, we are supporting a local boy named Ben who is facing some complex medical issues. This week we have had 3 knives donated by two excellent forum members – Comprehensivist and Vance. Bonafide further donated the sheath for the Nessmuk. You guys are something else. ALL of the proceeds go directly to Ben’s family.
