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.
Well, now we’re all starting to get pretty excited about Blade Show. I have quite a few set aside already. Just so you know we are 4E and F right in front of the entry doors. This week I see lots of tapered tangs. Ken has done his magic on a Camp Knife and a Duke. Both are sweet. There is a very rare Bow Legged Joe with burl and mosaic pins. There is a Bushfinger in this batch with maroon linen and bolsters with a trinity pinout that I think is quite beautiful. Watch the dealers this week, and get ready for another dealer promotion with a giveaway Fiddleback knife as a prize.
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, and CPM 154.
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.
Brimming with small knives this week mates. I’m going to start off with the Bow Legged Joe, then the pick of SIX more small ones. Base price Runt in there. More of that Ivory Linen micarta. Also in this lot there is a Hiking Buddy with Ken specialized Ironwood burl bolsters and African Blackwood scales. This knife is like fireworks.
