FiddlebackFriday - 3/1/13

[Fiddleback]

Fiddleback Friday again. Huge batch. Lots of Bushfingers, a Nessmuk and a Camp knife too! Lets get to it!

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.

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.

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.

Stunning batch yet again Andy! The grind on that Hiking Buddy is amazing, and that Bushboot looks awesome! The more of that Kirinite I see the more I like it. That one Bushfinger looks like a good candidate for the JD forum That EDC of yours is really growing on me too, if I was still doing finished carpentry work, I'd want one of those on my belt I think.

Nice score man, I'm loving my Bushboot. Now that I have it I wouldn't mind if it were 1/8 at all since I pocket carry it and don't plan on beating it up, but it is an awesome little knife.

Lol

You guys! I actually woke up this mornin, feelin good and expecting to be buying a Fiddleback today. I even cleared it with the Mrs last night and she was cool. But now I kinda feel like a jerk. I REALLY, REALLY wanted an 1/8" tapered tang Bushfinger, but that combo just isn't doing it for me. Don't get me wrong, she's purty. But if I'm gonna replace MY Bushfinger, it's gotta catch my eye.

Maybe next time?

 

[schmittie]

Andy, it was very exciting looking through the latest batch today. Thank you for humoring Sergio and me by making another 1/8" knife. I hope you are able to make a few more down the road.
