Boy howdy is it looking like the Fiddleback crew isgoing to out-do themselves in 2015! Incredible knives coming up.
Winter is here in Georgia and it's suppose to be REALLY cold later this week. The shop is not heated .. and the roll up door is
open during the work day. burrrrrr .. but it doesnt even slow these guys down.

Knives getting their Maker's Mark.

Thanks Bud! This might be my favorite preview set yet. Great group of knives and nice crisp photos.

Andy might have to rename the Palmer to the Phoenix since it keeps coming back from the ashes. :thumbup:

Whoa, some nice stuff here - can't wait to see how they polish up. Love seeing all the bolstered glue-ups

Great photos!
 
Some real eye openers there, amazing work by the crew as usual. Thanks for the time and effort Bud.
 
WHAAAAAAAAT!!!!!!

There are some nice ones in there!!

Thanks for the great pics Bud!

Is that a hunter and a bushcraft senior in evergreen shadetree?
 
Seems like it's a Bushfinger and bushcrafter
But I've been wrong before
 
Nice man. I have been checking out the curly cues off and on all day on instagram. Man, the handle on that Camp Muk is something else, and that bolstered Monarch is sweet!

Hard to say, but at that angle, the blade looks a bit long to be a standard Bushcrafter, but it could just be an optical illusion.
 
Good point
I told you I've been wrong before. Lol
I even finished the handle on the bottom one today
 
Totally insane batch of knives.

One of my all time favorite sneak peaks
 
As previously stated... that is one of the best batch of knives in recent memory. Would someone mind telling me wood is on the curly Q knives?
