I love making knives for you all. Thanks to everyone for supporting Fiddleback Forge. Its an amazing feeling to do this for a living. Fiddleback Forge depends on y’all, and we hope you love the tool you buy from us.
The prices this week went up by 10%. I tell you this up front in the spirit of honesty. You can check the Intro thread for the specifics as always. The Runt and Karda went up by a bit more. I was having trouble loosing $ on them and they have exactly the same # of steps as a Woodsman. I promise to try to keep them at this level for as long as we can but we must keep up with inflation. As always my goal is to remain a user knife brand.
Please quote the whole description in your post when you shark a knife. This keeps me and Ken from having to scroll back and forth while we sort out the mayhem. Failing to do this won’t mean your call doesn’t count, but it really helps.
Ken and I have decided for now to make international shipping $40 flat. That covers 90% of the shipments. When it goes up and we get upside down we’ll change it. This should make it more simple for overseas purchasers to finalize payment.
The steel this week is 3D Spalted 01 steel.
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.
Precious few smaller knives this week for y’all, but each is quite excellent. I want to keep this wicked little Wasp really bad. Its right up my alley at 1/8” thick and tapered. You could carry this thing very easily and very deeply concealed.
