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.

Well, we’re back at it. Its Fiddleback Friday time again! I’m excited about it and I hope y’all are as well. Ths week I have ten knives to show you. Lots of Bushfingers, lots of shadetree, and one SS knife! I am re-offering the pink handled Bushfinger in the hopes that a lady will see it! The burl handle on the Arete this week is the prettiest piece of wood I’ve used in a long time!

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 except for the Sneaky Pete, which is 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.

Congrats, that has to be the best looking Bushfinger I've seen in a while: amazing handles, sweet grind, tapered tang and 1/8"??? Man that is a great looking knife!!!

Hope Blade went well for Fiddleback Forge and great to see another sweet round of knives. Flawless grinds all around. Man...you guys make this look too easy.
