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, late again this week. The show is next week. That means you can expect me to pull some knives from the table and offer them to you Friday evening. I hope some of you are planning on attending the show. I don’t know what to say about the Osage I have been cutting lately, but it is really something else. Three in Osage this week. There is a pair of Scandi Aretes this week that are outstanding also.

Thank you all for the support. My family depends on y’all.

The prices this week are without sheaths. I am lucky enough to work with Rick Lowe for my sheaths. He makes a beautiful sheath that really compliments my work. I appreciate your support for him as well.


The steel this week is 3D Spalted 01 steel.

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.



The Smaller Knives – This week I have an EDKarda, and three special Hiking Buddies. One is scandi and 3/32” thick, one has a hidden tang, and one has that beautiful antique canvas.

OK...so what now with the exact same time stamp???

Andy...You can ignore my question. It is after all Friday the 13th. Nothing has gone right for me all week and I already have 12 of your knives already anyway and it looks like K-37 is ready for his first one. At least he's starting with a good one!

There's always another Friday and there's always another knife!!

Love you work Andy!

Come back and the two I really wanted are spoken for... dang it Mr. Roy, why do you make such beautiful Knives????:D Oh well, until next time. I will make sure I have my refresh finger ready again.
