How Fiddleback Friday Works

The rules are quite simple. Once the knives post, the first person to the checkout process gets the knife. There are no limits to how many you can buy. However, it may take you longer to put 3 knives in your cart than it takes 3 other people to checkout with only 1 knife. Unsold knives will stay here until Thursday of the following week. They will still be on the site listed with other https://fiddlebackforge.com/collections/handmade

Shipping

Our checkout accepts both PayPal or credit cards. In the USA, there is free USPS First Class shipping for any order over $150. You can pay to upgrade to Priority Shipping during checkout if you'd like to. International is up to $50 USD per order for USPS Priority International Mail. Rate depends on country. We ship next business day after purchase. We ship Monday-Friday unless there's a national holiday or something unforeseen occurs.

OMG. That Toboggan.

 

[Kenneth F Huls]

OMG. That Toboggan.

Yeah- methinks there’s a lot of that being murmured - softly enough that the spousal ears cannot pick up on it. ; )

 

[Random Dan]

Wow! This is a killer batch. The ironwood on the the Bushfinger is some of the best I've seen, I love the cross cut black micarta on Bush Hermit, and the bolster's on Joey's knife are sick. So much good stuff.

 

[Nbrackett]

The Toboggan and Kephart are the stars in this batch.

 

[Rufus Magnus]

The Bush Hermit is magnetic....WOW !!!

 

[Fiddleback]

Thank y'all.

 

[Choppaman]

Another stellar batch guys. Bushfinger, Duke, BH and Toboggan are my favs. Well done

 

[David L]

Usually every week there is at least one knife that I have to try not to obsess over to the point that I feel like I have to have it and this week is no different.

 

[NoRest]

That Toboggan looks pretty sweet. I havent had a chance to hold one yet.

 

[Mistwalker]

The Kephart is beautiful! Good to see some O-1 again. That Toboggan is amazing.

The Paloma is sweet, but has me confused. So that handle is really just 3.75 inches long? Speaking of Paloma, I used the Shady Baby at our local Paloma restaurant a while back, more on that in an upcoming article though.

Wow, an early early preview. Thanks.

Q for those in the know: the Toboggan seems to share some design similarities with the O/S Ladyfinger, but @ 3.5”. Just me, or is that in fact the case?
Thanks

 

[Choppaman]

Kenneth F Huls I can shoot you comparisons but it would be later today after work. IMO I think they are a bit different. Per Fiddleback specs, the OSL has a 5" handle and the Toboggan has a 4 to 4.3 handle. Seems to me the OSL has less swoopy contours on the belly of the handle. A side by side would be helpful and I can do that later unless one of our friends here can do it sooner!

@ 3.25” (Not 3.5”)

thank you, Choppaman !

Looking at the pics just now on the newsletter, it is indeed apparent, at least to my eye, that the OSLF is “less swoopy“ (I like that!) in the contours. It is like the Toboggan is reduced size and proportion but with exaggerated OSLF design elements. And I don’t mean that in a bad way at all. I would love to hold both in hand and compare, or at least get a couple good side by side shots. If you were indicating you had access to both and could do that later, well, that would truly be fantastically helpful. Thank you either way!

I sure can do that brother. I own both (at least one each and some would tell you a minimum of 4 LOL ). I'll be in touch later. Have a great day!

Brian, it is a small handle but it magically melts in your hand. It’s very comfortable. I carry one as my edc.
