FBFMACH12: Custom 12" Machete - Natural Canvas Micarta

Fiddleback Forge by Andy Roy

Ever since Andy Roy scaled back the Fiddleback Forge to just himself, allowing him to take on ever more ambitious knife builds, he has been turning out some of the best pieces of his entire career.

Designed to be the perfect machete, the Fiddleback Forge Machete has been designed with the user and intended function in mind. The Machete's handle gives protection for your fingers that you won't find on most machetes. This allows us to bring the edge all the way down the blade, so the blade can do bushcrafting chores, such as notching with ease. In addition, the khukuri-style bulge in the handle allows for chopping with the hand in two positions using varying amounts of wrist snap. The Fiddleback Forge Machete is made from a traditional 1075 steel that has been professionally heat-treated for the perfect balance of durability and ease of maintenance when used as intended.

When it comes to handle comfort, Roy is truly a master. Just like Michelangelo would carve away the marble to reveal the sculpture within, Andy telepathically knows exactly what is needed to create the most comfortable handles we have ever had the pleasure of holding. Exotic materials and fancy elements such as multiple liners, unique pin patterns, and the signature bullseye lanyard tube set them apart visually as well.

Machetes are assembled and finished by Fiddleback Forge in the USA. The 1075 steel blade features the proper and traditional machete heat treatment by experienced craftsmen in El Salvador.

A top-quality leather sheath with belt loop IS included.
