How about a Fiddleback group buy????

Oyster · Jan 16, 2018

The few times that I received full payment in advance, I did not enjoy working on the (longer) assignment. Could just be personal preference/experience, but I didn’t like it.

Just out curiosity: anyone have a brief write-up handy about the merits of each of the four woods in question?

Liking the sound of Blackwood over natural/white...

ETA: or natural/blue or black/white...
Oh dear, in trouble again...

Limiting choices is definitely a good idea!

ETA: just in case anyone is wondering, at the office I play a guy who works...

Anyway to get a sheath maker in on this?

There are a lot of options out there for the Hiking Buddy, not sure that this would be necessary. However, if there was enough interest, it’s not a bad idea.

@Fiddleback

VANCE will there be a new ‘official’ thread that we’d need to post in to confirm our selection? Or will this thread and our affirmations stated here be sufficient?

Sheathmaker? Did I hear somebody say that? Would be glad to participate with leather if this comes through. You guys just figure how to make it happen.

once we hash everything out there will be an "Official" thread started by me or Andy with all the details. We couldn't use this thread, BIG DEAL has already changed his mind

Sounds like Rick is doing a 100 sheath give away.

Rick Lowe · Jan 16, 2018

The number sounds great, but the last two words are a stretch to say the least.

Oyster · Jan 16, 2018

But they’ll get a lot of “likes”

Thorns · Jan 16, 2018

Would definitely pay extra to get a RL Sheath with it.

Coach23 · Jan 16, 2018

VANCE any idea if there will be a certain number of spots, or will it be open to all who want to get in for a knife or two? Thanks a lot

VANCE · Jan 16, 2018

there will be a certain number of spots. we will have to work this into our current production so i dont see any way we could leave it open ended. the amount has not be determined as of yet.

Coach23 · Jan 16, 2018

That's what I figured but wanted to ask. Thanks man!

Scotcha · Jan 17, 2018

I’m in as well. One in Osage and one in DIW.

Coopsdaddy · Jan 17, 2018

Would love to see pics for the handle options.

He regrets starting this idea with a HB instead of a Handyman?

I've got a few 3/32 Hiking Buddies and by far the 3/32 Handyman is a more rare animal. I would prefer for a Handyman group buy if it were an option.
