Sneak Peek from Fiddleback HQ 11/24/2015 - Happy Thanksgiving@

[bonafide]

Thanksgiving week slows things down as one would assume would happen. The crew is gearing up for upcoming holiday season .. this being a half week for most of them. Things were kinda slow and light today, but good news .. your sneak peek is more revealing than usual ..

Hope everyone here has a safe Thanksgiving Weekend. FYI, there will still be a Fiddleback Friday thread.

** NOTE - I have day job commitments next Tuesday - so NO SNEAK PEEK on Dec 1st and JouFuu Leather thread will be live at 9pm EST **

Blades getting profiled and ready for heat ..

A caddy full of 'ready for handle shaping' knives.

Handle scales getting ready for assignment

Found the shop Machete .. it's been used hard and put up wet a few times.

Not sure the story behind this Behemoth! BUt dang it was cool .. and I placed a Monarch next to it for size reference

Here's your Black Friday FBF caddys. Vance had them sitting out, ready for pics/descriptions.

Nice! Thanks Bud for doing this, and Happy Thanksgiving to all you FBF Folks! What will you use to carve your turkey? An honest question, as I'm not sure there really is an "optimum" FBF blade to carve a turkey. Maybe a Padre? Maybe a Camp Knife?
