Fiddleback Friday Sale!!! 09/28/12

[Fiddleback]

Alrighty guys, this week I’m going to try to clean up this thread. Hopefully it makes more sense. I am headed out to Crex’s Trackrock Hammerin this weekend, so connectivity will be likely zero once again. This is the last weekend trip for a while hopefully, though, so after this I will get better about marking knives as sold.

The prices this week are without sheaths. All of the steel is 3D Spalted 01. Shipping is included within the US.

Payment may be made in any one of three ways. I accept MO's and personal checks, though I wait for the check to clear before sending any knife. Or, you can send paypal to: fiddlebackpayments at att dot net Please describe your purchase in the payment note section so I know what to send you.

Thank you all from myself, my family, and Ron and his. We depend on y’all. I hope you like the knives!

Email sent to you Andy with a question about getting a piece of fiddleback apparel along with the hiking buddy I claimed.

 

[Shamr0ck]

Andy - had a very busy day and I'm just getting around to the thread - GORGEOUS knives and I like the changes you incorporated into the post. @ManiacalPete - Enjoy that Hiking Buddy - it would have come to MD had I been in time..... Cest la vie - there is always next week and we know there will be some more works of art available.

Thanks, Shamr0ck.

These are my first Fiddleback knives.

I must say, I'm pretty stoked;
the squirrels are for sure going to be jealous of
my style when I'm hiking in the woods next week.

Okay…I shouldn’t be doing this right now, but I’m going to do it anyway...I am supposed to be saving money yet I can’t seem pass on this: I just have a feeling that it’s a true stunner. I would like to buy that sweet looking Kephart, stabilized dyed Maple burl over black g-10 with a white pinstripe, convex on 5/32” thick 01.

This year has been crazy…I lost my job the same day I received my first Fiddleback in the mail (honestly this actually happened) then couldn’t find work in my field and had to enter a new one. The same day I went full time at the new job, my wife got laid off from hers. No joke! Many other, more personal, things have happened for both good and bad but undoubtably it has been a tumultuous year. Anyway, both the lady and I are looking at going back to school and will hopefully be pursuing new careers in a few years, and in honor of that attempt to start something new I will indulge myself with this fine example of the newest addition to the Fiddleback lineup, the Kephart. Things are tight around here financially, but as far as I'm concerned these knives are pretty much investments if you treat them right...they should last a good long time. I don't meant to derail the thread I'm just sharing about why this purchase means a lot to me, and how it is meant to show my support for what Fiddleback has going on.

Thank you Andy, and while I’m at it I’d like to say this weeks batch is looking great. Loved the matching maroon Arete and Hikingbuddy, congrats Maniacal Pete for grabbing those. It was really hard to choose between the three Kepharts, as well: they are all really choice in their own way. Finally, I think your new format is great. It was totally easy to follow IMO. Thanks a lot for your efforts.

Hi Sean,

Congratulations on securing the Kephart. I am quite sure you will like her.

I am sorry to hear about your misfortunes. But it seems to me that you are handling the adversity well, without a defeatist attitude which is a very good thing.

Take care.

Hey all,

Looks like I've found the place to score one of Andy's amazing blades. I have to say its hard to narrow it down to one, as all these offerings look great to me. If it's still available, I'm down to snag 2012 0928 009 - Wenge Bushfinger, which will be my first Fiddleback knife! Somehow, I think it will not be the last. Payment sent via Paypal.

Stoked!,
