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.
Alrighty! I’m excited to tell you that the new method is working!!! We are doing several small batches now instead of one big batch. This has made it much more enjoyable for me. Doing a 5 or so minute step on 30 knives is torture and we had maxed out that system, and I had maxed myself out. This runs easier, and more efficiently and is saving my body a lot of pain. We have a BUNCH of knives around this place right now. I hope you all love them!
Even though we are growing, please be sure that every knife that has my initials has been hand ground by me. Also, the handle shapes are mine alone. Honestly, right now I have my hands in every process. But I wanted y’all to know that I’m not marking knives with my name that aren’t made by me.
Thank you all for the support. My family depends on y’all.
The prices this week are without sheaths. I am lucky enough to work with Rick Lowe and Heber Ellsworth for my sheaths. The make beautiful sheaths that really compliment my work. I appreciate your support for them as well.
The steel this week is 3D Spalted 01 steel 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.

More Nessmuks!! The recent thread about HI and ole Sarge got my juices flowing for a more traditional Nessmuk.
