18" Keffeler Sword (K18), AKA The KOD Piece

[Nathan the Machinist]

It's very cool!
Do you see another sword project in the future?

Probably not. This one is making my hair fall out.

Pity, you have nice hair!

 

[TommyGun56]

Yeah, I think so. This is one of the coolest projects I've been involved in. It was risky because it required us to do several things with our process we had never done before. It became an epic undertaking here (still is) but the end result is unique and really very cool.

Nathan, Congratulations to you and the entire CPK Crew. The (the K-18) looks absolutely magnificent The end result far EXCEEDED my expectations.

Thanks again

Tom

You need to post a gorilla picture (meme?) too, so I know that it came from the heart

So, while it certainly handles well single-handed, this is a powerful blade and an accident won't be forgiving. You guys be careful out there, this is not a toy.

... Okay it is totally a toy. But it is a very dangerous toy...

Dammit. I knew I should have bought two.

I am having similar regrets, which are balancing the "I'm sure glad I at least got one!" feelings.

Wow - had missed the recent updates.

I’ll now have nightmares that after the wait for the K18, mine will end up getting lost in our currently dysfunctional mail system.

don't know if any Canadians are on the list for one of these, but if there are, I'd enjoy the challenge of building a scabbard for one of these in part just to see one for myself for realz

Looks like MrTwobyfour did not pay his bills and Dr Keffeler is a little perturbed

I would suggest a 3v version of a Confederate light calvary sword.

Apparently what we're getting is another Dan Keffeler collaboration called a "Trench Sword."

Soon, my precious... Soon....
One sword to chop then ALL! And, in delta 3V to bind them!

 

[TommyGun56]

Welcome to your 1 Chop K-18 fix

A 2x4 one hit is an accomplishment

It’s also Mighty Damm Cool

So does Nathan enter into the select club of swordmakers who torture test their swords(or at least put up videos in public)?
Are there any others? Not very familiar with the field.

I hear trees shaking in the night... The K-18 release must be not far off.
