Fiddleback Forge’s knives are highly sought after by knife aficionados and avid outdoorsmen alike. The purely hand-crafted knives are especially desirable since they are designed for hard use with fantastic ergonomics and feature beautiful materials. Each unique knife is made by hand at the Fiddleback Forge shop. Master knife-maker and designer, Andy Roy, finishes each knife personally to make sure you are getting the highest quality knife imaginable.
Fiddleback Forge’s handcrafted knives have limited availability, and are sold as they are made. We do not take custom orders!
We release new knives every week over on the Fiddleback Friday page.

Hunting is much more than pressing the trigger; it is an entire process you should enjoy year round. From preseason scouting to year round consumption of harvested wild-game meat, hunting can become more of your lifestyle than hobby. Some people think hunting is just as simple as pressing the trigger but to the true hunter, the experience extends long after you leave the field. You hear a lot of people say “I want to know where my food comes from” but so many of the same are quick to hand off their kill to a butcher. No disrespect to the great butchers out there but there are some hacks (no pun intended) in your industry with less respect for the game brought in to be processed. The only way to follow your game from field to table is to take it from field to table by yourself. In this month’s blog, I want to share some of the tips and tricks I’ve learned for butchering wild game. I believe in processing my own animals and staying hands on as much as possible through the process.
Fiddleback's first designs were the first 2 Fiddlebacks that I purchased (and still have)...they are the 3 Finger Joe in Ironwood and the Runt in Rosewood. That started my collection and I’ve owned over 60 Fiddleback and family knives - and still expanding! I no longer purchase any other family/brand of knives and rarely carry any of my pre-Fiddleback knives. I used to collect a lot of tactical folders and high end factory knives but I am much happier with the support, look, feel, and more personal approach by far with your organization. This probably mirrors the sentiment of the majority of us who have been regulars on the sub-forum and Fiddleback owners. Thank you so much for all of what you guys do.

I know most people buy a knife and hardly use it. I am not that guy. I gut, skin, bone out and process over 100 large game animals a year and spend 45 days a year in the woods in a tent. I have a bushcraft knife and a machete. No amount of money can buy these two knives from me. I'll hand them to a grandson I don't yet have. I have met few that use a knife like I do and fiddleback is my choice. And I have tried nearly all big name knife companies. Andy Roy is second to no knife builder I know.

Love Fiddleback Forge, awesome knives! The handle design is one of the best I have ever held & the fit & finish is second to none.
Beautiful knives with superb build quality! Own four of them so far...
