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.
Hello everyone on the last Friday before Thanksgiving. Fiddleback Forge is closing next week. BUT, we will be shipping, and there will be a Fiddleback Friday next week as well. Check out the new model this week. Its an idea floated to me by Mistwalker. I’m calling the knife the Bushraptor. It’s a sheepsfoot take on the Hiking Buddy. I’m very excited to offer it, and I hope you love it too.
The prices this week are without sheaths. I am lucky enough to work with Rick Lowe and Heber Ellsworth for my sheaths. The make beautiful sheaths that really compliment my work. I appreciate your support for them as well.
The steel this week is 3D Spalted 01 steel and CPM 154 with Fiddleback Textured Flats.
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. Ken has taken over the shipping department and we are going to be setting up a special e-mail address for all questions or concerns regarding shipping. I’ll give that out when the new website is launced.
