Sneak Peek from Fiddleback HQ 09/23/14

[bonafide]

Made another run to Fiddleback HQ today .. my semi-regular Tuesday visit.

I didnt get a picture of it because it's still in the development stages - but keep any eye out - there's a new Fiddleback Model coming out soon.
I think it'll be a great profile - like a crossover style from pointy to field knife combination .. like a sophisticated Sneaky Pete.
I'm calling it The Judge cause I didnt catch the name of it.

Found Andy in the shop .. handle shaping away.

Some blade blanks ready for handles.

Scales getting sliced up and ready for blanks.

The batch of knives that were getting their handles shaped by Andy.

Some of this week's offerings ..

Matched set .. Patch & 3FKarda in Maple.

I love finding these 'shop knives' laying about. Hard use Handmade Knife for sure.

The more sneak peeks I see, the more I understand Pavlov's dogs. Look at all the burls.
Thanks Bud.
