I like how people in GKD have no idea what this or the K18 is. Yours is the nicest knife I've seen in weeks and the fact that mine might arrive soon makes it even better!
The BladeForums.com 2024 Traditional Knife is ready to order! See this thread for details:

Order here: https://www.bladeforums.com/help/2024-traditional/ - Order as many as you like, we have plenty.
That's the most CPK Fan thing ever... every time someone posts a new preorder knife, we have to go and see where they were on the list compared to us!
I am 99% sure it's DIW, but yeah, the lighting wasn't as bright. From the color and grain I think DIW for sure, too much figuring for African blackwood I think, plus I asked Jo for desert ironwood. They are pretty well matched and are very dark but between the reflectivity of the buffed wood, the grip texturing, and the poor light it was hard to get the color.

We are aiming to have everything shipped in 9 days.
Yours andBeautiful!! Congrats. You just nipped me by the turned fasteners . . . should have added that.
Anyway, since yours shipped almost a week ago, I'm thinking that mine can't be that far away now. I hope?
You are a saint!Yours andSwarthyGnome were supposed to ship yesterday but UPS never came for the pickup. I guess I'll have to take them to the store this morning.
Bob. Those scales are beautiful. I love my UF in black but wow.
That red n black is soooooohhhhh pretty !!!
nice focal lengthView attachment 2201179
Sooo underrated. Nothing even comes close. Size, weight, blade length, cutting performance. If I could only have one… it would take the cake. It’s so fast In the hand yet I’ve beat the hell out of it and it shrugs it off. If you love fixed blades and don’t have a uf2, you’re missing out
