Sneak Peek from Fiddleback HQ 11/03/14

[bonafide]

Yup it's only Monday and last Friday's batch are still getting sharpened and packaged for shipping ... but this is my only day off this week and I needed to stop by Fiddleback HQ for a pick up so I thought I'd see what's happening in the shop a day earlier than I'm usually there. So .. some of these knives may be something you'll see offered this coming Friday. Enjoy.

Yup. All 3 of those burls in that caddy = NUTS! and my pics are not showing the awesomeness that's coming in the end
BUT! The Bushboot from Knife Caddy #3 .. that wood was amazing! Cant wait to see how that one finishes out.

Well, that caddy's knives just have their initial grind on them so I'm not sure. Andy was grinding on them as I left today .., but there may be Scandi Kephart in caddy #2

A scandi Kephart would be an awesome score for anyone. Amazing wood working knife.

Thanks Bud for the update! I always look forward to seeing the sneak peak.

Well North American Arms does make a Black Widow model....... Maybe if we all call them and tell them we want a black version of the Pug we can get them to name it a Fiddleback hahahaha ........

These won't be ready for a while yet but be on the lookout! At Trackrock this past time around we got to talking with a young blacksmith named Jim Walker. Jim is very talented with an hammer and he offered to do the Curly Q's for us during the year.... He just sent us this photo of the first batch -
