Fiddleback Friday - 06/21/13

[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.

Man, I want y’all to know that I love this job. I get here at 4:45am every day, and usually I am working till 6:30 or 7pm. It’s the hardest work I’ve ever done, but I just love every day of it. Even handle shaping day. I hope you like this week’s work.

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.

The Duke – This is a special one. I’ve only done this ‘soda pop’ pinout on two knives before. They both went to a couple of friends of mine as wedding gifts. The last time I got froggy with the pinouts nobody liked them, but I’m hoping they are more liked this time. This knife is also special because of the orange pinstripe between the bolster and liners.

Haha. I don't tell wives. LOL. My accountant one time asked me to stop using Paypal. I said, "I can't do that, most of these guys are sneaking these funds past their wives."
