Behind The Scenes @ Fiddleback Forge

Just a friendly reminder these knives are for “Preview” not “Pre-sale”.

Kyle is getting a little extra Profiling work done this morning

He’s getting “Allen’s wall” stocked up

Someone asked about our bolsters last week. I managed to catch Allen glueing some up & they say a pic is worth a 1000 words. I think this pic will help better understand than the previous pic I posted.

I made some machete pins this morning. Every single one is a different size

Frequently I get inquiries regarding the “angle” as to which folks should sharpen their knives. We don’t have a set angle like some sharpening systems do.

Ill get some pics of me Marking the knives(as requested last week) later on this week when it’s that time.

I’m not sure when Allen is Rustic wrapping anything again. That may take some time.

More to come as time permits.

Thanks for looking!

Questions & Comments welcome.

Thanks for the preview Phillip

See some stunners in there. I might have to check myself in for Fiddleback rehab if you’se keep churning out these beauts.

AMEN TO THAT Scotcha
But I keep referring back to some wise advice of many here on BF and find comfort when they say buying knives is cheaper than rehab or therapy.

What are the metal pieces behind the Micrometer in the pin picture used for? Just wondering...

The wood handled hiking buddy with natural liners, white pinstripes, two (natural/white) 1/4" pins and a white bulls-eye tube looks to be an interesting variation.

Edit: Hmm... Looks like the knife actually turned out to have natural 1/4" pins and bulls-eye tube.

I am NOT so sure about that. This was me in 2016 .. except I never did get to Blade but scored some remotely

since every pin on the machetes is a different length, we made jigs for each one..... David came up with the idea, but someone monkey'd w/ the mini chop saw & his jigs did not work anymore. So I came up with a new set.
I scribed the dimensions and Kyle profiled them out for me

so 12" 3..... is the third pin for a 12" machete or the 16 #1 or whatnot

For starters ..
A big stack of USPS boxes outbound to new homes? Or maybe the process because it must be a ton of fun.

I would like to see how the "Fiddleback Forge by AR" is applied.

Step 1. Turn on Rick & Morty

Power ON

Electrolyte on the left & Neutralizer on the right

Apply the stencil

Cook it!
