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.

This week is the time to get Fiddlebacks if you are into metal pins. I had a drillbit that was was undersized this week, and had to switch to metal pins in a pinch. It was a good exercise to keep us on our toes around here, but not something I wish to happen again. There is an extra 6 or 8 hours in this batch. Next week will begin the new precaution of measuring each drill bit before using it. And of course, we’ll be back to the phenolic pins.

Thank you all for the support. My family depends on y’all.

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.


The steel this week is 3D Spalted 01 steel and also CPM 154CM.

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.



The Smaller Knives – A Runt and an EDKarda start us off. Both Tuxedo, 3/32” thick steel with full thickness tangs and SS pins.

Nice collection this week. Must have been a hard working week for you. Would really like to see some more 1/8" ECDs personal though. Also are there 12" Machetes available? Got a used one for myself and it has been rocking the world around me for a couple weeks now. Works hard, sharpens quickly, does everything I have thrown it at well. Would really like to gift one to a friend. Thanks for your excellent work on those.
 
Fantastic batch this week, holy smokes! Love that stabilized walnut..
 
Love the Recluse and nat canvas Sneaky Pete. Will have to try them out sometime:thumbup:

Hi Andy,

This is certainly an outstanding batch in every sense! The Stabilized Dyed Crotch Maple, Stabilized Curly Koa, and Stabilized Walnut handles are eyeballs zingers for sure. And CPM-154 knives too boot! Well done Andy. :)

Sincerely,

Great batch Andy! Those Bushfingers make me want to start collecting them like Erich but there are too many other great models I still need as well.
