Can I get some Shiv pictures for tomorrow's pre-order?

[Grenock]

Yeah Bob has the biggest Shiv collection in the world! We need the The Shiv Wheel.

To the best of my knowledge he doesn’t have any Shivs, sold them all long ago. He may not have any CPKs at all actually, aside from the NASK proto with edge damage and a UF test knife that Nathan cut nails with. He won’t sell them as he considers them Nathan’s.

I do reserve the right to be wrong about this though.

Some beauties on display.

ETA: Bob's on the forum as we speak. So, we've got that going for us...

No, Bob is not dead, and he has one last Shiv left, which goes nowhere.

I do see a few of those I owned awhile back, looks like Grenock has a few......................

^^^^There he is!!! He is like Beetlejuice, say his name three times and BAM!!!! He pops up out of thin air.

What?!? A used Shiv?!? Who would do such a thing, oh the horror! Nice one Steve!

stjones , thanks for that comparison pic with the UF!

If pics of the top edge/ swedge aren't possible, does anyone know if any portion of the top will have an edge in this run?

I'm glad to see you are still around and well Mr. betzner

 

[Comprehensivist]

Don’t have this one any more. Only the photos and memories remain…

Good luck everyone with your preorders.

No, the standard configuration is not sharp on top.

Thank you, sir.

This is the best I got for the top swedge. I think it’s sharpened about a half inch.

Stop with the pictures or I’m going to have to buy one.

Thanks a lot for those pics. They are very helpful. Per Nathan's response, it sounds like the top edge sharpened must have been a special one off or people just did it themselves. I'm a hobby knife maker and have a 2x72 so that wouldn't be a big deal for me to do, BUT personally I would NOT do that on a CPK.

I cannot really compete with the other photos posted, but I decided to make a lame attempt anyway.

Is that the 7" UF? Dunno if it's my eyes, but the blade to handle proportion looks like one of the limited edition 7" UFs floating around.

Max, there was only one 7" proto UF which had the great Scrimgeour hollow grind IIRC, but there was also a 5" pigmy UF at some point in the distant past

Nathan use to offer some with the top of the tip sharpened in the Friday sales. In the UF preorders, it was an option.

Not nearly as fun.
