Sneak Peek from Fiddleback HQ 06/23/2015

The 100 days of Georgia Summer Heat continues! 100 deg in the shop again today. The crew is definitely working hard to get the knives ready to go. No short cuts. Knives only look awesome if you're an working at an awesome level! Pretty impressive in this HEAT. Imagine standing in front of a heat gun while standing inside a metal building. CRAZY hot. Hats off to the crew cause right now it doesnt seem so cool to be a knifemaker.

Usual level of great photos of great knives. Many thanks Bud. I see a few I wouldn't mind getting my hands on.

And you proved once again that we have very similar taste,...you know what I am referring to..

 

[KP]

Great stuff as usual. Thanks for taking the time to take these and post them up.

I kind of like the bottom one in this pic. Hard to tell at this stage but looks like blackwood, wenge or maybe bog oak. Do you happen to remember what the liners and spacers were on that one?

 

[Zardo]

Wow! Thanks for taking inside the operation. Great to see....I've got my eye on a few already

 

[VANCE]

Looks like big oak and natural liners
I can't tell the pinstripe

And btw
It sucks in the shop

 

[Chris8]

That mini muk with the tapered tang is insane.

Thanks for the preview.

 

[Gusbuster]

:thumbup: Great pics as usual, thanks Bud. I feel for the guys and gal in the shop with this heat! BTW is that purple Bushfinger CPM 154 or A2?

 

[Comprehensivist]

Is that Bloodwood knife in Caddy #3 a stainless Palmer or just another Runt? Maybe it's the camera angle, but it looks bigger than a Runt to me.

Thanks for the photo update Bud.

Looked like a Stainless Palmer to me. Let's go with it's a 'rumor' it'll be up on Friday's list. I did not get a 100% confirmation on what's up with it so please - no one go 'internet crazy' when if it doesn't make it to FBF. Definitely a grail kind of knife. :thumbup:

 

[Valkyrie Knives]

Yes that is a stainless steel Palmer.

I am not the type to go "internet crazy", but that one definitely piques my interest. We need more Palmers in the pipeline.

Phil - you know that was not directed towards you. There's some here I dont know personally and fits of Fiddleback Fever can be severe.
