As always, our 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.

I think that the last two batches have been very good. The crew is beginning to gel and even though it was bitter cold this week everyone toughed it out and hit a home run. I can’t thank them enough for their dedication. I’ve got lots of sets this week and to me, this is exciting stuff to get to post. I’ve got lots of Bushfingers and all 4 Sneaky models. Also this week I’ll offer the best Bushcrafter I’ve ever made IMO. We’re starting to have fun now! In addition to this, we are introducing a new classification of tool at FF today. It’s the dawn of the Bushcraft Tactical knife! I’m big on the idea. I hope you are too!

Many thanks to Rusty Curtis for helping me with the website, and also for carving the backdrop for this week.

The steel this week is 3D Spalted 01 steel and CPM 154 with Fiddleback Textured Flats.

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. Ken has taken over the shipping department and we are going to be setting up a special e-mail address for all questions or concerns regarding shipping. I’ll give that out when the new website is launced.



Small Knives. I have plenty of small knives for you this week. Lots of variety also in steels and handle materials.

Now on to my new favorite knife to grind. I mean this knife is fun to grind. Some knives you have to wait for the handle before the sex appeal sets in, but even the pattern for this knife is hot. The Scorpion.

Asps! I think if you are a pointy but practical do all knife guy, this is the one for you. I have one this week with Cocobolo, tapered tang and a high single bevel. You could do everything from Bushcraft to tactical with this tool. It’s a new class of tool. Bushcraft tactical.

These two Woodchucks are sweet. The guardless one is right up my alley because Blackwood really sets off a Fiddleback knife IMO.

Great looking batch Andy and Crew. Loving all the drunken burlap and oak. And that guardless blackwood woodchuck - that would make one sweet kitchen knife!
