Hello from Fiddleback Forge! This week’s batch has a lot of pretty wood once again. There are several tapered tangs up for grabs too. I hope you like them!

As always, my first priority is to thank all of you from myself and Ron and our families. We depend on y’all, and we hope you love the tool you buy from us.

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 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. 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.



Kardas – The two top knives are Bushcraft Kardas, the bottom knife is a EDKarda:

I’m really happy I got to use Black Locust. Carl uses it a lot, and makes it gorgeous. I kept a little sample of it on a knife for myself.

Hi Andy, The picture above the bushfingers shows 4 handles one with white linen and also a jade w/2 other woods, are there 4 knives without a description or that picture just doesn't belong there, I could just be high. Sorry in advance if i'm wrong.

Thanx
 
Mark -

That's a gorgeous EDKarda and of all the spectacular knives this week - that one called to me the loudest. My wallet thanks you ....

Great job Andy - thanks again! The consistency and quantity of your work makes Friday mornings like a weekly christmas!

No. I ordered a bunch off ebay... Carl did come by this week and bring me some though. And confirmed the other stuff was indeed Black Locust.

I really like that stuff.
