New Work

[Fiddleback]

Some of these I just finished, and some came back from JRE, and now I can sell them.

The Bow Legged Joe sheaths are done (finally) and I like them. They'll come with a ball chain.

This first knife is Sharp Eye's. Ironwood and Osage Bushcrafter Jr. with mosaic pin and Fiddleback Lanyard Tube.

This sheath I made a while back, and it fits like a glove. Its fully lined with sheepskin!

Curves!

Bow Legged Joes and the sheath!

Bushcrafter Sr with Osage and Blackwood.

Mymindisamob! Check it out!

Problem knife. Not all of them turn out like I want. Bushcrafter Sr. Pin not centered. Burnt the micarta around the corby bolt. Doh. Worthless POS.

EDC back from sheathmaker.

Well, if you're just going to throw that worthless POS out... you could send it to NC!

That is a thing of beauty! Thank you Andy! It is truly going to be a great B-day for me this year.:thumbup:

WOW! That's all I can say.

I absolutely love the Ironwood/Osage combo. Great contrast.

Those Bow Legged Joes look just great for an EDC.

Great work and very inspiring.

Andy all of those are stunning.

The Osage and Blackwood on the Senior is screaming at me.

 

[orrey45]

EDC and the Bowlegged in ironwood(?) look awesome, I want one. The bushcrafters look like great too.

 

[tknife]

Dang those are all slick, even the "ruined" one!

 

[Fiddleback]

Speaking of the one thats bunk, what do you guys think should be done with it?

 

[tonym]

It sounds like its just an aesthetic thing. Why not sell it at discount. It will still make a great knife.

Since I like to help out, I'll let you put it in with my Jr.. You know, just so you don't have to live with a failure.........................

This is likely the solution. But you have to sell duds to an end user that plans to use the knife, and keep the knife, and not re-sell it! I don't want it on the market any more.

Andy,

All of those are awesome, including the "defective" one. I'm especially loving the paper micarta handles - they just scream comfort! For the ones that aren't up to your standard, maybe sell them off the "Fiddleback Back Lot". With that micarta handle, you could maybe even brand/burn "Back Lot" into it or something, sell it for a discount. Hell, there's plenty of people that want that knife.

 

[tychoseven]

Wow, Fiddleback, I just love your knives. I mean, the curves, the flow, it's just so RIGHT ON. I dig those Bow Legged Joes. My EDC for several years was a sheepsfoot similar to those, and it did pretty much everything I asked of it. One day I'ma get one of your nessies too.

Speaking of the one thats bunk, what do you guys think should be done with it?

Raffle? Passaround? Demonstration blade you don't mind beating the snot out of?

 

[mtnfolk mike]

very nice andy....:thumbup: i love those bow legged joe's.... is one of those for gearman???

 

[j williams]

Looks great! I like the osage one, and the black one alot. Those BLJs look awesome!

 

[Sharp Eye]

Andy,
Once again a fantastic job and a truly awesome bunch of knives.:thumbup::thumbup:
I can't wait to try out my Bushcraft Jr.

 

[mymindisamob]

I really think the discount "Back Lot" ideas are great. I definitely understand you not wanting it to go back on the market, so I would think that you might want to mark it in some way.
