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 this week was a struggle. My shop had some illness and still we overcame and produced 43 knives. I am so proud to work with Ken, Adam, Judy, David, and now with Allen. Its really amazing that we can do this together, and having this many craftsmen in the same place is inspiring. We are all so excited about Blade Show! Wait till you see my sign idea!!! You won’t be able to miss it, I promise that.
Check out this cool Wasp with a daggergrind that I made for myself. It has beautiful carbon fiber scales with blue and silver metal flake in the mix. There is an Asp wearing the same handle combo in the batch. This one has a tapered tang, and is light as can be.
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 have a great batch of small knives this week. I love this Bow Legged Joe, and the Ironwood burl Hiking Buddy is so nice too!
