That is a chunk of AEB-L. I am sure it will be great.

I like them chunky

Posting this here as I don't want to pollute "The Next Sale" thread.





Paul calls that grind (single primary tanto) that he's been doing for a while now "Cuvier" (Tiger Shark Tooth). I like that

How does the basic 5” field knife compare in thickness to the DEK 2, would you happen to know?

BFK is .188” at the ricasso, DEK2 is .200” at the ricasso per the CPK encyclopedia.

The reason I ask is because the website says the DEK 2 is 0.20, “a little over 3/16 which = 0.1875”, so would that means it’s closer to 0.19” ?

0.0125" IS a little over 3/16"... That's less than 1/64", not even 1/3mm!

Well good, that means I really need to get one during one of these sales. Always good to have a numerical reason to justify buying another CPK.

Do you know if there’s an option for it to come with a tek lok instead of the belt loop?

 

[dericdesmond]

Yes

 

[Cap’n Smudge]

Yes

“Yes” you know. Or “yes” there’s an option?

Not sure why Bradford doesn't get a lot of love on BF. Must be missing something ... this one is quite unique and well done. Bought it as a "waterproof" work-knife (M390).

Agreed. They are quite solid.

A few from Jerry Halfrich...

I don’t think I’ve seen a slipjoint with that sort of profile Blues (the last one), damn that’s sexy! The nail nick sits perfect in the grind like that with it riding along the swedge and ending in the flat, perfect placement and execution with those transitions coming together in that spot.

 

[ferider]

While I love that pattern, I don't like heavy coating ....

Yesterday:

Today the left one stripped for me

The pattern and writing on the blade seems Laser engraved, if anybody wonders.

Happy Easter, CPK !

Jake, when Jerry built that knife, which either he or we named the "Scout", he did the blade as an homage to Randall knives he had admired over the years. I think you can sense that pedigree when you check the grind.

I believe I had introduced Jerry to Enrique Peña at one of the Blade Shows years back, and Enrique wanted to meet up with Jerry, (they're both in TX), to learn some of his slipjoint techniques. Enrique provided Jerry with the bone that is displayed on this knife.

Jerry's and Ken Erickson's knives are my most valuable knives because of the relationships I have with them both. Each has been a guest in my home.
And I also had the pleasure of introducing them to one another.

 

[Jsega51]

Yep, pure awesome.
