Is it just me or is there a fair amount of SS in that batch? Thought I saw a SS blue/burl ASP and a double bolstered HB in SS. Hard to tell but the texturing and grinds look more like SS than O1. Anyone confirm?

This one was Stainless ...

I missed that one. So are the other two I mentioned also stainless or just that one? Thanks!
 
I think I've seen more of the inside of the Fiddleback shop though these sneak peek threads than I have in years! I look forward to each of your scouting missions. Thanks! :)

Yeah, the blue lavawood/burl Asp may have been SS - but the handles were not shaped and not in the this week's queue either. I just happened to snap a pic of it.
I'm pretty sure the double bolstered w/beauty mark HB was SS too.
 
I've been wanting an ASP in SS. The blue lava wood would be the ultimate. I really gravitate towards the blues. Now only if I can navigate the shark infested waters on Friday. I may have to start soliciting a fiddleback bounty hunter...

That HB was spoken for before being built. Andy's daughter picked out the box elder at the show a few weeks ago and this one is for her.

Well, it couldn't have gone to a better person! Good for her and what a great dad!

Get a pic of it after it's finished up and shiny. I'd love to see how it turns out!
 
Bud, as many others have stated -- thanks for continuing to do this! Your time, effort, and attention to detail ;) are greatly appreciated for us non-GA folks! :thumbup:
 
Yep. That knife, as well as all the rest from this batch will be up for sale this evening in the Fletcher Knives forum. Thanks for the publicity Bud!
 
Here's another righteous one from that batch.

Terrorists, your game is through, CAUSE NOW YOU HAVE TO ANSWER TO.....

That knife turned out awesome Dylan. I hope to see more of the Shadetree Red, White, & Blue burlap used in the future. Well done!

WOW...Outstanding photos. It is quite clear from those who have already responded that they appreciate your efforts in this regard and so do I! Thank you for the inside look and priming us for Fiddleback Friday.

As always .. my pleasure guys. I enjoy sharing them and I take sooo many other pictures, but getting them all resized/hosted/etc does take time so I limit what I post to the most interesting. That being said .. here's a couple more. :)

Taper. Taper. TAPER!!! I noticed a few other tapers in the first batch of photos posted as well. The bottom tray looks like knives that could be ready for this week. Just an observation, I'm prolly way off base though.
Seriously though, awesome pics Bud. Thanks for sharing a few more.

yep,,, tumeke,,, some good looking knives alright. i think i want the one thats at the bottom of the second to last photo(in that first post),,, any idea of the blade length?,,, so if you guys could please not buy it. im in New Zealand and am struggling with the Friday sales with time zones etc,,, every time i get up and look everything is already sold and the thread is usually up to pg3,,, that Kephart with the magma red on the handle from last week would have been perfect,,, whoever got that,,, if you are sick of it already and want to move it on, then give me a call. i may have to pull out an all-nighter this week to even get a look in... come on guys, stop hogging these knives,,, give us a chance,,, please
