Had a chance to visit Fiddleback HQ today and hang out with the crew for a few. I was hoping to get some pictures of the massive pile of Blade Show beauties - but Vance had already prepared things for the weekend by inventorying, sorting, and packed them for transit. I did manage some pics of one remaining caddy, as well as the labeling of Vance had on each knife roll .. so you can use your imagination of their awesomeness!

Last remaining caddy of Blade Show knives. I pulled some matched pairs and some specials for close ups.

Knife Rolls, each containing 11 knives - labeled with what's in there! There's 6 rolls total (so far)

Knives getting their maker's mark .. these are not necessarily Blade Show knives, rather ones getting finished this week.

Osprey K & T - these are the blade blanks that Chris is preparing for Blade Show. He's got a lot of sleepless nights coming up.

:thumbup:Thanks Bud! Glad to see your Sneak Peek! Can somebody snag that Bog Oak BC Jr or Monarch for me at Blade? :o
 
that Bishop will still be making the trip

it just doesnt fit in the canvas rolls
 
Who is bringing two knifes back from Blade for me?

Thanks Bud, good to see another Sneak from you....and what kind of a sneak....
 
Very nice Bud. Thanks for taking the time.
Do you happen to remember what the knife is in you first pic right next to the old school nessmuk?
Looks like Koa scales maybe?
 
Thanks for posting, Bud. While I have really enjoyed the Behind The Scenes threads by Phillip, it is good to see you back in action.

So Phillip, I see a few Woodsman knives listed. Care to tantilize us with any other Woodsman that are going to make the trip to Atlanta?

It's a HB .. and it's freaking over the top gorgeous. Get in line! ;) it's my #1 to score.

My pleasure on the Sneak Peek guys. Wish Vance hadn't been so efficient - lol - or I would have chummed the water and photo'd them all!

Now I know why it didn't get a stand alone shot ;)
Okay, challenge accepted. Just don't pull any of that Kung-Fu business on me at the table. I'd have to go Monkey Fist on you :cool:

Exactly.

And .. I'm so old and slow now, my favorite technique is the Estwing. :)
 
If by any miracle the kephart in big oak doesn't sell can you please sell it to a poor Aussie who can't make it to blade Phillip? [emoji3]
 
It's definitely a good thing I'm not going to Blade... Wow! Awesome stuff guys.

Nice to see you putting up a Sneak Peak Bud! Thanks!
