My regular weekly visit to Fiddleback HQ. Everyone busy as ever. The summer is in full swing and the crew is still having to work in fast/short burst - hydrate - repeat. As usual .. some incredible examples of your favorite Fiddlebacks again this week as well as some really-really nice apprentice knives getting made.

Aubrey (RedHammer) and Chris (Osprey K&T) getting scales scuffed on the sanding blocks - ready for glue ups.
You'll see what models they're working on with the Knife Caddy #3 preview.

Sheer awesomeness. Never cease to be amazed or impressed. Much appreciation for the time and effort Bud..
 
Great looking batch as usual. I am sure it is hot up there in N. GA. I live southeast of you guys and it has been hitting around 110 - 115 (with heat index) off and on for these last couple weeks. I could not even imagine what it must be like with the masks and stuff on too! Props to all of you for a great product, a cool sales idea and consistently sticking to cranking out the work load.
 
The top knife is a leuku

I wish bud had gotten a shot when I came outta the shop and took my mask off...
He looked at me and made the comment "your eyeballs are sweating"
Lol

It was quite a sight .. your face was literally leaking. :eek:
 
:thumbup:Always look forward to your Sneak Peek, thanks Bud! That Rosewood Bushcrafter is Sweeeet! Looks like CPM 154.
 
Thanks Bud! I see the one that I have been waiting for. I am stretching my shark fins already.

It is CPM154 .. which is why I took a solo close up shot. :thumbup:
 
Bud, I messaged Allen but I'm sure he's a little busy today! was curious if you happen to know the dimensions on that last knife and his smaller, un-named "quartermasters".

Didnt measure it. Maybe 5.5 or 6" OAL? Dont quote me on it. There's also a larger version of the Quartermaster in there as well.
