Mat, just like you I fell in love with Nathan's work, but started with a couple of his skinners. In those days their was a smaller supply but lasted a couple of DAYS! I have learned his product is well thought out with a purpose in mind. I'm not going to compete so have no need for this model but I'm sure it's performance will only be limited by the user not the tool. That being said I'm not going to pick one up just go admire, but things could change?I've been collecting and attempting to collect CPKs like a frenzied starved crazed man ever since I acquired Nathan's LC and then his FK a couple of years ago. Fortunately for me, I also made great online friendships and acquaintances particularly since this subforum was set up enabling me to network to acquire some CPK patterns of the past years which were already retired by the time Carothers came on my radar.
All that said, I'm very very conflicted about this pattern because I know that besides becoming purely a luxury item, it will otherwise not see the light of day in my hands. I supposed I could justify it as a very nimble cleaver but that will do this creation of Nathan immense disservice. I will most likely sit on the sidelines on this one and will regret doing so in the future when they are all gone. That's just how I roll![]()

Hmmm...kitchen cleaver. That should do it. I think I can get my wife to believe it is one very cool cleaver lolMartin and Don, like I had said if we can sell ourselves on the idea of using one as a cleaver, albeit a very expensive one, we can then justify buying and owning one?![]()
Please don't let me give you guys stupid ideas because I'm sure that this BSCC is not meant to be hacked into things like bones!!! It's like taking a Ferrari 4wheeling![]()
