Thanks for that. Can you compare the size to the CPK version, pls ? And how is the F&F, pic looks very good.

Should be just about geometrically identical. I gave them CAD data to produce them by.

I can’t directly compare it to a UF, don’t currently have one but can post some other comparison pics tomorrow

Fit and finish is nice. Wooden box it comes in is a nice touch too

Thanks!

I looked a few hours ago, and Boker had them for sale. Don’t know if Blade HQ will be able to honor their pre-order.

Just checked again. Still available. $219. They say that there will be 2000 available.

Weird. I couldn't find them. Not that I can afford to buy one right now anyway lol

If you search on “Boker Magnum Carothers” it should come up on the Boker site.

That sure is nice and clean and a very good pre-order value too. Boker did a very nice job on this collaboration with CPK/Nathan. Thanks for the pictures

I was just starting to wonder if something was wrong, but

Very nice, thank you. I bet you these are metric screws

T8 torx

IMHO, if you are among the very few lucky ones who had bought one, a couple or a few OG UFs (3V or Elmax) back in the lean Nathan years for ~ 300ish, there is no point in acquiring one of these other than sheer novelty factor. OTOH, at the price point, even elevated to $219 with regards to the UF2's prices in the secondary, these may still make sense with this presentation package (feels heavier and the handles more hard rubber-ish, needless to say!). Now imagine the intrinsic value of CPKs if Nathan was retailing 'em like this

Here is mine, #1181:

This thing is awesome. Disclaimer, I’ve never handled the previous knives. The sheath holds the knife tight.

The design is very good and I worked with them to get the balance correct too. It is an outstanding knife. Obviously the steel and heat treat on the real thing is a little better, but these are going to be plenty good enough for their intended purpose for a lot of people and I think it offers a lot of bang for the buck. One of the best values out there, in my opinion. These are soooo much better, in every meaningful way, than a lot of the stuff that troops carry.
