Competition Cutter Preorder

[Nathan the Machinist]

I meant that if you are a skilled cutter and don't mind a little bit of risk you should get the thin version. If you're not a skilled cutter or if you are risk-averse, meaning afraid you might ruin your knife, you should get the thick version. The thin version is more fragile than the thick version so using it in a difficult cut is riskier.

Thanks Nathan. I'll stay with one of each. Learn on the thick edge until I get some experience.

Hey Nathan the Machinist , can we see a pic of the CC handle (maybe Jo's knife) next to the HDFK handle, please? Thank you!

edit to add: and this is what a modern competition fencing sword grip looks like:

Things start looking weird once they get specialized

Dan Keffeler has big muscles but he isn't actually a particularly big dude, his frame and hands are quite average. The grip feels pretty large, but it's that way for a reason offering power and control. It's a specialized grip. Other grips we do are designed to be held in a number of different ways, but the CC is dialed in very specifically.

Thanks a lot, Nate, for the quick reply! Is that CC the standard or small configuration, please?

Standard. We haven't made the small yet.

 

[CataD]

Thanks a lot, Nate! Decisions, decisions...

Loving the look of that CC Handle

I mean yeah I guess, it would definitely disassemble a cow, but this ain't a kitchen knife...

^^^Now all my dreams will come true

 

[TommyGun56]

Yeah I think the MC would be ideal for that, but it won't hang with a CC like a BC can. But yes, I think the MC would be the most practical.

^^^^ and the above statement is why i bought this (CC) baby

Nathan the Machinist Nate, how easy is it to turn the thick edge CC to racing edge myself next time? Is this just a matter of the resharpening the edge at a smaller angle or do I need to regrind the bevel?

Thanks!

I too am curious about this Nathan

 

[bullpin]

Nate, would it be possible to see a side by side of the THICK and Racing edges? Thank you.
