Its Friday again, and time to post a batch of Fiddleback Forge knives. I have lots of variety in this batch. Some rare knives, and even some a knife made from ATS 34.

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. 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.

Holy cow, that Recluse is sweet!!!! Mr Roy, I gotta say, although I'm partial to the bombproof micarta, I have really been enjoying the natural and stabilized woods you've been working with recently. It's refreshing. Any plans to do some of the classic Fiddleback combos in the future? Like back in the day with the currly maple over walnut, etc?

Beautiful batch!
 
Hi Andy,

Very nice batch! You add excitement to each and every week we have Fiddleback Friday!

Mark
 
Yo Mark! Why don't you gift me that Recluse? It would cheer me up.....


JK ;)
 
I'll take 1214 05 hiking buddy. Another gorgeous batch Andy!!

You got it bro. Thanks.


Schmittie, I have no plans to do thin slices of wood as the base layer in the future. I like having a more stable platform there to deal with wetness, etc.
 
Wow the recluse and the black locust Ladyfinger are both stunning. Love the olive F2 as well.
 
Well, as expected another beautiful batch of knives. That Hiking Buddy looks fantastic! I was just sitting here playing with Lisa's, and I can just imagine how that tapered tang 5/32 feels in hand. The Recluse is just stunning, I really love that grind! That Kephart looks wonderful as well, I am really digging that blade geometry, and the grind on that one is awesome!
 
Andy,

I'll take the
2012 1214 012 – Ladyfinger, Black Locust, Please.

I was wondering if that was a reason for the change. Your use of micarta against the tang, stripe or not, really is genius. Thanks for the clarification.

That would be pretty cool wouldn't it? I wish I could my friend. :)

Mark

LOL! Sorry bud, the pain pills must have just hit. I better sign off before I buy the rest of what's left without realizing it!
 
Congratulations Shamr0ck! That is a very eye pleasing...beautiful and functional knife. :)

Mark

Thanks mark - I've been looking for a hiking buddy these past several weeks and while I also liked the F2 this week, I'm excited to get the HB.

Now to contact Rick Lowe for some beautiful sheath work!

Andy - I'm on the road and will PayPal the $$ mid-afternoon
 
Orange, I miss orange. Pinstripes, I miss orange pinstripes. Subtle, I miss subtleties implying that I need some orange pinstripes.... ;) Beautiful batch, Andy, aren't they all!?!

Oh man, if I wasn't paying for xmas and my other toys..., that Bushboot would be mine!

Would go perfectly with the Bocote tapered tang scandi Hiking Buddy I last bought!!



danm!!!
