Well...It's Friday...

Trying to understand..... They don't post the pics here? Of letting us know where the pics are?

They will post them here. You will see a Fiddleback Friday 1/09/2015 thread that will contain the knives of this week. As Bamboo indicated, it will be posted around 2:45 today. In that thread is where you shark knives.

The fotki page is just a photo hosting page where they have to upload them first. Folks go there for an early preview.

Quick summary of the process.

Ken (Bamboo) posts in this thread when the sale will happen. Today's is at 2:45 PM ET (pending updates)

Normally an hour or more before the sale, the pictures of the knives in the day's batch will be posted to http://public.fotki.com/FiddlebackForge/knives-15/ Seeing the pictures helps you decided if there are any in the batch you want to go for.

A new thread will be started with a name typically like "Fiddleback Friday - 01/09/15". It will show up at the top of the list of threads in the Fiddleback forum.

Folks will immediately (within seconds) start posting "I'll Take XYZ". First one to claim a knife gets it. It's preferred to copy and paste the description from the Fiddleback Friday post like "I'll take 2015 0102 07 – Hiking Buddy with Tuxedo w/a twist handles, SFT Tang, convex on 1/8” spalted 01 steel - $225", but in the frenzy at the beginning of the sale, you'll see things like "I'll take the Tuxedo Hiking Buddy" (this is based on folks investigating the preview pics and describing the knife based on the info gleaned from the photos).

Take a look at last weeks to see what the frenzy looks like: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/1249094-Fiddleback-Friday-01-02-15

And be sure and read the sticky about the process and the tips and tricks for sharking a knife: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/1147860-Law-Of-the-Sharks-Rules-Tips-and-Tricks

Edit to add: And if you're not able to shark something you want, be sure and check the Flea Market here in the stickies as well as the dealers that are listed. There are lots of great knives available.
 
Anyone know the wood on that camp nessie?

Crazy batch this week, I lost count on how many I'd like to have
 
Wow, I can almost feel my wallet heating up in my pocket...this is gonna be a hard one to resist. That blue-ish burlwood bushcrafter(?) with the curly-cue is a sight to behold!

If you look at this in the right way, you can hear the opening to 2001 a space odyssey! The climax anyway.
