Sneak Peek from Fiddleback HQ 08/19/14

[bonafide]

Stopped by Fiddleback HQ today to pick up my Patch and HB, had some laughs, and watched the magic start to unfold on this week's line up. Here's a sneak peek of some offerings you might see this Friday. All pics are taken at an area that I call the 'glue up tables'. The extra bumps you see on the surface is epoxy build up that forms week after week from the process of gluing the handles to the blades.

First pic is a sneak peek of a sneak peek. These are blanks getting scratched for pin placement - next stop is the drill press.

Knife tray with this week's 'glue ups'. I'm pretty sure this is the 'black pins' or right side of the table. Adam's bag of cheez-its gives it away.

Right side or black pins line up. I'll give a couple of close ups.

The reason why all the scales look gray or ash is cause you're looking at the black liner or inside of the scales. The Camp Knife showing it's Red Herringbone.

Some of the Natural pin side or left hand side of the glue up table. Bourbon Street Skinner and Lone Star in the center!

ooohhh yeah .. sneaky sneaky pete with a swedge!

Even got a shot of up coming blades from Adam's 'Valkyrie Knives'

My Hiking Buddy getting it's 'Maker's Mark'.

Design change on the 2 Finger Karda!! This thing is SCHWEET!

And on my way out the door .. I see the 'spa treatment' knife tray. This old school 'OG' original Bushfinger caught my eye.

That Sneaky Pete and new Karda design look sick.

'local' is a relative term in the greater Atlanta area. It's 52 miles from my house to the shop - most of the drive is on Hwy 20 which runs East/West across the State.
Takes me about 1hr 15min if I manage to stay out of the rush hour .. one way.

If yall look, there's a new 2FKarda on the right side/black pins line up.

I'll be eagerly waiting to see what that camp nessie ends up like.

Tapered Tang .. Shade Tree.

I was wondering about that one too! A TT Camp Nessie is on my wish list.

That 2 Finger Karda is exciting too! I'm not a collector, but someday I'd love to have one of each of the small knives for an awesome EDC rotation.

Can't deny I was hoping to see a sneak peek of the previous sneak peek. Saw some pretty cool stuff nonetheless. Thanks!

Hey Bud, those are my Cheezits!!!!

 

[bonafide]

Hey Bud, those are my Cheezits!!!!

LOL .. figures!

 

[Skystorm]

I'll take the Camp Muk!

Oh wait it's tuesday, nvm. Seriously I don't know why but watching knives come from bar stock just fascinates me even though I do the same type of thing with a different medium.

Cool stuff!

 

[FeralGentleman]

Going to be an interesting Friday for sure. Thanks for the pics!

You should try the Hot n Spicy Cheezits

 

[emoney2277]

I've never actually seen a BSS. Nasty!

Tapered Tang .. Shade Tree.

Thanks Bud for the preview! TT Shadetreed Camp Nessies are sweet. I'd have 10 of them if I could. The new Karda looks awesome!

Great post man, I had hoped to stop by before Blade, but couldn't get down there soon enough.

And on my way out the door .. I see the 'spa treatment' knife tray. This old school 'OG' original Bushfinger caught my eye.

Wow, haven't seen that one in a while. Hell of of a knife that one, spent a LOT of hours with it in my hand.

I thought that one was yours. Looks good after all these years.

 

[NUTRAMAC]

Bud I love your threads!
Especially the candid and the behind the scene views of the forge and of life

Have a great day

I put that knife through the wringer for a while. Tried it at every task in bushcraft I could think of...repeatedly. The most comfortable I had used to date at the time. That knife is a testiment to, and told me everything I needed to know about, Fiddleback quality, and the next few corroborated and confirmed it. I have been a supporter of Fiddleback forge ever since, and I have thoroughly enjoyed watching Andy and his team grow to where they are today.
