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.

Fiddleback Friday again! This week I went all out on the scale materials. This is half of the batch. I’m sure you can guess where the other half has gone. I’m really getting stoked about the show now. I am officially done making knives for Blade Show as of today. Monday is machete handle shaping day, then its detail work for the rest of the week next week. Sharpening. Grinding out any stray scratches or rust spots. I made myself a little Bushcraft Gaucho knife this week also, and it is really nice. Anyway, no need to prolong the prologue. Lets see the knives.

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.

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.

I’m changing up the format a bit with these two preview pics. This is the 8 knives I have for sale this week. The first picture is all full thickness tang knives, and the second pic all have tapered tangs. The specifics of each knife will be listed below as usual.

From left to right in the pic below are: Bushcraft Karda, Hiking buddy, Recluse, Kephart, Terassaur.

The Stabilized wood this week is freaking awesome. I wish I wasn't so strapped for cash right now! Great batch Andy!
 
Sorry I don't have the payment in on that bushfinger from last week. It should come through by tomorrow hopefully.

No big deal at all my friend. I'm holding it for you. Thanks for the note though.
 
And its a good thing that terrasaur doesn't have micarta handles, otherwise i think i'd be virtually broke right now! haha
