Fiddleback Friday - 06/27/14

[Bamboo]

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.


Already the tail end of June…. A few things on our horizon are the Georgia Knifemaker’s Guild meeting in early August, followed by possibly doing the Southeastern Knife Show in Salem, NC, and then Trackrock weekend later in September to make some more Curly Q knives!

We’ve had another smooth week around here. I thought I’d show you a little of how the wooden handles are prepped. This is how we get them typically, and the boat we made to safely cut them on the tablesaw –

Then they head over to be flattened before getting their pinstriping –

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.

WAS Knives:

Badger with Figured Maple scales, Tiger-stripe etched blade, Scandi grind on 1/8” 01 steel - $240

Please paypal Allen directly at – w.a.surls(at)gmail.com. Or contact him at wasknives(at)gmail.com


Valkyrie Knives:

Please paypal (or contact) Adam directly at valkyrieknives(at)gmail.com.





20 knives for you this week. The steel 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. Editing posts is a no no.
