Fiddleback Friday - 08/23/13

[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.

More Sneaky Petes this week, Nessmuk in 5/32” thick tapered goodness, two pieces of Ash, Ironwood and SS, Black Palm and Bushfinger, SS F2 in 3/32. I am excited to offer the knives this week.

Thank you all for the support. My family depends on y’all, but that’s not all. The jobs created at Fiddleback Forge are supported by your interest in our products. We are all very grateful for your patronage.

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.

The steel this week is 3D Spalted 01 and CPM 154cm.

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.





Small knives first this week. Lots of choices as well.

[NoFair]

Tempting Bushcrafter, looks almost priced too low as well

 

[Marcys1973]

I will take bushcrafter - 2013 0823 007

 

[thurin]

Wanted to get that in there quick, but also wanted to say this is an awesome batch Andy with so many sweet choices. That Nessie would be great in kitchen and camp. KE Bushie! I love it's description "Thin, Scandi, good". No doubt. A couple very pretty Bushfingers.

Hopefully someone will be happy with that EDC

 

[Crow-Bar]

Wow that Stabilized Dyed Curly Ash is quite a bit of wood!!

 

[Nick_P]

009

[Kirkwood]

[Mistwalker]

009

Hi Nick, wow it's really cool that your very first post is to purchase a Fiddleback, and that curly ash Bushfinger is gorgeous, nice choice.

It helps everyone keep up with what is gone and what is available if you just copy/paste the entire description like this though

***Example*** 2013 0823 009 – Bushfinger, Stabilized Dyed Curly Ash on natural canvas with a white g10 pinstripe, Tapered Tang, Convex on 5/32” thick 01 steel - $300

 

[justdrifting]

KE Bushie listed between knife 5 and 6 – Thin, Scandi, good - I'll take it, pending info. thx.

2013 0823 006 – Arete, OD over natural canvas with a white g10 pinstripe, Skeletonized Tang, Scandi on 3/32” thick 01 steel - $255
OK, I'm thinking there is no pic for the Arete, and it's supposed to say KE Bushie instead?


the OD KE Bushie thin scandi depicted...either way. I'll take it (still).

I will take 2013 0823 007 – Bushcrafter, Arizona Desert Ironwood over black with an orange g10 pinstripe, Tapered Tang, Convex on 5/32” thick CPM 154CM steel - $315

Looks like I was too late! Enjoy it, Marcys1973!

 

[mikejd]

Wow. Totally out did yourself this week.

Thurin, sweet pickup I wish my lunch break was half hour earlier.

 

[Mistwalker]

Wow, stunning as usual Andy. That Sneaky Pete really is growing on me. I think I'd be needing one of those dagger ground ones, or at least a swedged one for my purposes. Would be awesome. I like that Nessmuk too, which is rather unusual for me... That dyed curly ash is beautiful, and you're killing me with that blackwood HB, it would match my Bushboot and my Woodsman lol.

Here's the one where he talks about the Sneaky Pete: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYD22bNIBY0

 

[oneminus2]

Sweet Nessie....very tempting. The two Bushfingers and the Stabilized Dyed Curly Ash Sneaky Pete have some of nicest finishes I've seen yet. Keep pushing the envelope Andy!

 

[Brummie]

Dammit - just when I think I'm out, they drag me back in. I'll take:
2013 0823 010 – Sneaky Pete, Stabilized Dyed Curly Ash on natural canvas with a white g10 pinstripe, Tapered Tang, Excellent Feeling Thin Handle, Convex on 5/32” thick 01 steel - $300

Always liked the sneaky pete design, the wood is stunning, and with that thin handle, it looks to me like the balance will be great too. Don't know why it's still sitting there.

 

[Fiddleback]

I will take:

2013 0823 005 – Hiking Buddy, Bocote over black with an orange g10 pinstripe, Skeletonized Tang, Scandi on 3/32” thick 01 steel - $225

Sorry Bill. It sold above. Get a Sneaky Pete. You'll love that knife.

If I could afford it, the other wouldn't still be sitting there, and neither would that F2

 

[troutfisher13111]

and neither would that F2

I am fighting purchasing it in my head
