Sneak Peek from Fiddleback HQ 02/17/2015!!

[bonafide]

Insanely cold in Georgia right now. We had an overnight ice storm that knocked out power in northern burbs of Atlanta. It wasnt that bad in my area, but the closer to Fiddleback HQ, every thing on the road side was STILL covered in ice. Kids out of school so I made my visit a full blown 'Family Day' with the Mrs and Superstar 12 yr.

First picture, I gonna blow your wood choppin mind!! What the freak is THAT!??! (see red arrow).
Rumor mill, a couple of them will be appearing at the Blade Show 2015.

Nothing stops this train!

#9 knife for next week is gonna be SICK!!

Knife Caddy #1

Havent seen a BC Karda lately ..

Knife Caddy #2 (handle shaping)

Knife Caddy #3 - prior to glue ups

This one will be the model standard for the Mid Tech Production Hiking Buddy

Osprey Knife & Tool (New Apprentice) - still adding to this caddy.

Fletcher Knives latest batch is coming along. Those Cleavers are The Boss!

If some of those make it to Friday, its going to be an expensive week...

So, does the opening hour of blade show look like a hocky brawl on black Friday at the FF table?

More like the NYSE trading floor.

Great stuff as always Bud, thanks for sharing man..

That's the Bow Legged Chopper, I believe.

I remember Andy saying he HATED making those things. nearly useless blade too...but he made them early on because people would always stop and go googly-eyed when they saw it on the table at Blade.

That is correct.

I like the new shape these patterns create.

Way too much nice stuff there to list. The spalting on that A2 is awesome. Great photos.

Be safe on those icy roads. Looking forward to Friday as usual.

Love that blue Bushfinger from the Blade batch, have been enjoying watching it progress thru the system.

Any impressions from the family?

Thanks as always.

Thanks for the wonderful sneak peek, Bud! My eyes were totally locked onto that Bishop template, and it would be great to see a few of those make it to a Friday sharkfest.

Great pics as always Bud -- thanks for taking the time to put this together every week! It looks like Andy & Co. have been pumping out some KILLER knives for both Friday offerings & Blade Show!

My pleasure yall.

To me, Fiddlebacks have always been great looking knives, but lately there seems to be some extra schweet ones coming from the forge.
