Good morning and a strapping good Fiddleback Friday to you all. This weeks batch contains daggergrinds, CPM 154 steel, daggergrinds on CPM 154 steel, Camp Knives with tapered tangs, and a good offering of base price Fiddlebacks. I want y’all to know that we are going to continue to produce the base price offerings. This is because folks are asking for them. Yes, there are folks that just don’t like tapered tangs. Also, it is because I want to strive to keep my knives affordable, and in the user price range.

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, 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.

Now onto this week’s batch!:


EDKarda – I love this handle combo. White linen micarta over a lime green pinstripe and natural canvas micarta liners and pins.

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.

The bolstered camp knife is outstanding. I also really like the orange burst scales on the bushfinger.

2013 0215 11 – Camp Knife, Black canvas micarta with natural micarta bolsters, liners and pins, Tapered Tang, Convex on 3/16” thick 01 steel - $460
 
Hnnnggg those camp knives... just wow. Congrats to you guys who snagged them!
 
Andy & Team - those are absolutely fantastic knives -- last week drained my 'fun fund' and I'm looking forward to my 3 Finger Joe and the Pocket Kilo I picked up from Dylan to arrive. Love seeing the ShadeTree Burlap scales and the bolsters are incredible.

I don't think I have a use for a Camp Knife - but those are two spectacular specimens. My very first FF is a carver with Desert Ironwood scales - that dagger ground Bushboot is amazing.

have a great week -
 
finally some stainless
I would be all over that bushfinger if it had different scales (not a fan of pale orange) Would be nice to see some more in cpm 154 next Friday in mint G10 with light color pins
wink wink
