This is awesome. Vote for Rick!

Raffles are even better. May the luckiest man, woman, child, or xenomorph win.

I have no problem making a sheath for each and every knife sold tomorrow, in fact, I'd welcome the chance. BUT, my CFO (wife) won't let me do more than one at no charge. Good luck to all and happy "sharking" tomorrow.

You are one helluvan American my friend.

You are one helluvan American my friend.

A quality man to be sure and a great craftsman to boot!

I own a few of Rick's sheaths, they are top quality, and he is always a pleasure to deal with. Thanks for the chance at a great GAW Rick! :thumbup:

This post just goes to show how kind and nice the people are around here in the Fidddleback world. It really go to say a lot about the people around here. So many folks here keep on giving back an never asks for anything in return.. I don't really know where else you can find so much kindness in one place.. Chuck

The bolstered bloodwood Nessmuk is a beauty.

ndmiller

Would you like me to ship you the knife or send it on to Rick?

 

[Gusbuster]

Congrats to the winner! Thanks for the chance at a great GAW!

 

[Guhul]

Congrats!

 

[ndmiller]

This is awesome, thank you!!! Checking with Rick to see if he has Scandiman pattern.

 

[Luca917]

Awesome!

 

[ndmiller]

Long story short, after much deliberation, GAW and a companion was commisioned, designed, hashed out and recently delivered. Can't say which is GAW and/or companion, but the idea was two sheaths for my girls based on their current favorite animal spirit as pants for their Scandiman.

My oldest chose Dragon and Rick produced:

My youngest chose Owl and Rick produced:

As you can see from both sets, edge color matches handles, thread matches pins, great craftsmanship and very cool execution as well. Anyone make fire steels in matching handles???? Honestly thinking about keeping these from the girls.......

Sincere thanks to Southern Gent for the GAW and Rick as the maker, along with The Fiddleback Team obviously for the knives, the girls love them all. Now I need to get them outside but since it's no longer 95 here in hotlanta it should be easy.

 

[Luca917]

Yes! That's great.

 

[Tim the Wizard]

I wonder if he could handle dragon owl!

 

[LostViking]

No dog in the fight.
But cool sheath and class acts!

 

[pertinux]

Wait, Rick does owls?!

This is important new information.

Incredible generosity, and fun to see such a thoughtful outcome.

-- I love the personalization here, the different-yet-the-same knives, the details and color-matching on the sheaths, all of it.

Well done, on every front!
