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.
No injuries to speak of this week. Cool. I have my first GA Knifemakers Guild meeting as the VP tomorrow. I’m going to lead a discussion on the business of knifemaking as part of the meeting demo schedule. I’m not the best speaker, but I’m better at that than grinding demo’s because the shaking doesn’t ruin the damn speech. I shake like a leaf when giving grinding demo’s. Most of the guys watching are better craftsmen than myself, so it gets me very nervous talking to them.
Getting ready for the show. The T-shirts are really nice this year. They’ll be in on Monday, and I’ll post some pics for y’all. I’ll sell them here once the show is over. Friday night of the show I will post knives for sale here at BF just as I did last year. The pics will suck, but they will be some of the nicest knives from the table. I can’t leave y’all out!
As a reminder that we have machetes in stock.
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.
