My apologies to my customers

[Fiddleback]

Folks, I apologize for everything dramatic that happened on our forum this week. It was a lot to handle, and everyone here is very stressed out. Hopefully we can move forward from here. I have unlocked the flea market thread so y'all can start trading your beautiful Fiddleback knives again. Any drama from here on out will be handled privately or in the GBU forum. Thank you for your continued support of Fiddleback Forge.

The apology speaks volumes about your priorities and character, but, personally, I don't think it's necessary.

I think highly of small, independent businesses and feel for their owners when it comes to all the hoops to jump through and crap to be dealt with.

"Sharking knives" has become a common phrase here, but, the truth is, that the business owner is the shark. The folks that, say, make sheaths to go with your knives, are remoras.

And I'll be damned if it makes sense to me for sharks to apologize for the behavior of sucker fish.

I don't post here a great deal, but you certainly still have my continued support.

:thumbup: Very good analogy. The 'accessories' for a product don't exist without the product. No phone cases for an iPhone without the iPhone.

Thank you all. Please remember, and this is important, there is no sheathmaker, and no knifemaker without the customer.
