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.
Everyone is excited about this week’s batch, but we are also looking forward to Trackrock. This weekend is Carl’s hammer-in at the Trackrock Campground outside of Blairsville in the GA Mountains. I love this event. I’m even bringing a bunch of curley cues to forge out. Woot. This also means we could be out of touch this evening. Hopefully not though.
We have a new model this week based on the Recluse, I’m calling it the Leukko.
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.
I’ve got 4 small knives this week. They’re all exceptional with the Karda being the best one I’ve ever made IMO. That Cocobolo Bushraptor with the tapered tang and mosaic pin is extra special as well.
