Hi folks,

I am new to the forum. I'm interested in CPK's knives but they seem to be hard to come by. Do they have announcement here so that I can follow the thread and get email notifications. I don't check forums everyday, so a passive way would be the best. Suggestions are much appreciated.

They've got a subforum on Bladeforums where they pin threads about upcoming sales, notifications, and other good info.

I recently got into their knives as well, and I'll admit it was a little daunting figuring out how to get in on sales.

Edit: I see this got moved to the forum in question. Disregard my link, then.

Welcome. :) Here's a link that'll help you get your bearings...

If you are new to CPK...FAQ's

Welcome sir,

Nathan will list upcoming sales on this thread, the first post in the thread is updated with the current sale information once it is posted

The NEXT SALE

I'm going to "sticky" this thread so it will stay here on the top. I'll update this 1st post weekly to let you guys know what we're preparing for the weekly sale and to announce any upcoming pre-orders. Twenty 5" Basic Five Field Knives, optimized CPM Cruwear, $295 plus shipping. Friday 30th...

These sales will take place in the the knife makers for sale forum linked below, they typically happen at 3pm EST on Fridays

For Sale: Fixed Blades

Then there is the buy sell trade thread on the CPK sub-forum, linked below

Attention - The CPK - Buy, Sell & Trade thread - Closed

Can we please minimize chit chat in this particular thread. There are people subscribed to it who get a notification every time someone posts. When it isn't an item for sale it screws up the "signal to noise" ratio. Thanks. Update: it has become Bladeforums policy that you need to list a price...

This is definitely one to keep your eye on if you are on the hunt for something specific, I would watch this thread and select email notifications. Fyi, you need to open the thread each time you get a notification or you will not receive the next notification 🤷‍♂️
I dont know why it works like that but it does, just a heads up.

The Cpk Encyclopedia is an awesome resource full of great information, check it out

Happy hunting!
 
Welcome.
Passive will get you zero CPK.
One of the guys has a sort of club but I think the initiation procedure is rather intimidating. Something about brotherhood of the CoCK, I'm not a member.
Fast and aggressive is the answer. Last preorder sold out in 60 seconds.
Again Welcome and enjoy. They really are great knives.

Preorders happen on some new releases. They usually stay up for a week or two until the order sheet is full.
 
And finally there is the proxy method.
If you are wanting one of CPK’s current offerings you can request another member act as your proxy in the sale. Your proxy would grab a spot in the sale for you and say they are your proxy. Jo would then contact you to complete the sale.
You can request a proxy here:

Sale Proxy Requests

If you would like to request or offer a proxy for an upcoming sale, you are welcome to do it through this thread and holler below. No offering or soliciting payment for proxies in this thread. Edit by Nate: This is an "unsanctioned" thread and service. I have stayed out of this up until now...

Almost all of our pre-orders are leisurely. There was one that I miss calculated but the vast majority are up for a week.

Knife collecting is supposed to be fun. If I'm doing my job right, it's not supposed to be stressful.

We're doing the best we can.

I don’t want to miss out on a must have CPK. So I’m ready for stress or leisure.
Be prepared.
