Hello and welcome to another Fiddleback Friday. This week I have ten knives to put up for sale. The Snubnose makes an appearance. Haven’t done one of those in a while. There is also a THICK, 3/16” thick bladed Bushfinger for y’all who like them thick.

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.

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.

Before we start the batch I need to put up a personal knife for sale. This is a Fletcher Knives offering from his Blade Show batch. This was the belle of the batch IMO, and I bought it at the show. It is new, in unused and unsharpened condition. The knife is $275 shipped with sheath.

I am also selling my beloved EDKarda. This is an 1/8” thick sweetie with a tapered tang, antique canvas micarta scales and a kydex neck sheath made by myself. $240 shipped

Also, I have a couple more machetes left. Next week we’re going to finish more off. Just a couple of pics to remind you of them. If you don’t have a machete for your Nessmuk trio, then you really aren’t properly prepared for bushcrafting. (The duracoated 16”er is $150, the rest are the standard $100. Of course, it costs $10 to ship a machete, so please add that.)

Folks, we appreciate you checking out our knives. You keep us going here, provide two jobs besides mine, and feed 4 children and two wives. You have turned Fiddleback Forge from a hobby, into an American manufacturer. We never forget that!!! Thanks again.

Dayum! That KPH is awesome and that Hunter has me looking at my bank Account and seeing where I can move funds around to make it happen!

Nice batch Andy
 
I'm so stoked! Beautiful blade, Andy!! Rick...looks like we have more work to do. Between the piggyback for the 12" machete/kephart combo...and now this...oh boy! I can't wait to see what kind of pants Rick has in mind for this KPH.
