I saw that too Jake. A2 didn't leave Nathan looking like that and I have A2 FK1s of that era that are unused and they do not have any patina on them at all, so it is not naturally occurring with time.. I suspect that thing has at least cut some fruit to develop that, and maybe much more. How we define unused may be differing than how the owner defines it, but that would not fit my definition of new unused. It has a lanyard and a bead though, so that more than makes up for the discrepancy.So that FK1 listed for sale thatās in A2 steel, the listing says new and unused but it appears thereās scratches and pepper spots all over it, not to mention a decent patina forming. I dig the teal colored logos!
Did these come new from the CPK creek bed lol?

The teal in the logo is the result of the heat treat. My A2 knives are the same.
I read it as, the tek lock for the kydex sheath is new and unused
I dunno, I think the A2 knives are thicker though, at least the shivs areI read it like that first, actually. Could be the non-English writer. The original FK1 Kydex sheath did not look like that.
How hard did Nathan run A2 ?
