Fiddleback Friday - 07/18/14

I was hoping to buy 1 knife out of 11 candidates (12 if you include the Bushcrafter that wasn't for sale). Within 3 minutes they were all gone. Very impressive (read frustrating) sharking this week. See you Tuesday!

Great choice! Thank you. Did you see the note that Andy thinks this is one of the best Woodsman he's done to date?

I did, but only after sharking it. Made me feel good about the one that did not get away.

It can certainly be frustrating at first, but after a couple times, you'll be a lot faster. I struck out my first few attempts, but now I usually stand a decent chance of getting one of the blades I'm after. You'll get faster, trust me.

Don't spend time reading. Have a target and copy and paste. If you start reading descriptions, you're DOA.

You got the Bow Legged Joe Shane! Since we have two 'bolstered Camp' knives today (Camp Nessmuk & Camp Knife) we'll need a more complete description. Sorry about that buddy, we know it isn't a perfect system.

Well..... I will take my lickins' for not completely playing by the rules but the Camp seemed clear to me especially considering the Nessmuk was sold and they are all knives. That knife is often referred to as the Camp! Just saying my peace and hopefully not stirring the hornets nest but clearly no hard feelings! Thanks all! I love it here!

Thanks Will, but I would have loved to have the Camp Nessy to go with it. My computer bogged down on the refresh. I could not have posted any faster today.

Edit: But, It will go nicely with my bolstered Bacote Camp Knife.

We'll have another Patch Knife on Tuesday for Ben's knife, along with a donated Bushboot....

Thank you Shane. No hard feelings here either, friend. As I read that I wanted a direct telekinetic path to your thoughts so I would know which one you were talking about. We don't have a perfect system here but I think we do pretty good most of the time. Thanks again for understanding.
 
So.. I believe this leaves us with the following -

Madrone Sneaky Pete
Curly Oak Bushfinger
Valkyrie's Falcon
WAS' Patriot



Thank you everybody!!
 
AHHHH!!
Mr. Ken, it's okay! I was so fixated on getting it I didn't spend time to scroll through all the descriptions. At first, I was high fiving co-workers, then. . . . THIS

Since Will glanced into a crystal ball and sharked that future Walnut burl BC sr. the Ironwood one defaults to me right? :D
 
Wrench, there are some FINE looking examples for sale in the flea-market! What are you looking for in particular?

I thought this would be the week I would finally get my first fiddleback but you beat me by seconds. Well played Phil!

Thanks for the kind words Jake. Your day will come soon too. I'll PM you with the weight and specs after I get it, because I know that you will want that info.

Thanks,

Phil
 
My favorite Fiddleback is the Bushcrafter. I never knew they made a 5" version. I'm pumped that I sharked one! Might even like it enough to sell my burlap Woodsman. We'll see.
 
The Patriot this week is sapphire shadetree if you were curious. Great batch guys, I hope it all went smooth!
