This won’t be a surprise to anyone here who has had the pleasure, but when @Spark was asked the age-old question “If you could only have one knife” his answer without hesitation was the CPK HDFK

So there you have it, the golden seal of approval by the owner of Bladeforums himself.

Congrats Nate, Jo, and the rest of the CPK team for producing stellar designs with premium materials and industry leading heat treatments.

I’m happy and thankful to be along for the ride.

Starts at 49 min 55 seconds.

 
Spark's endorsement of the CPK HDFK (Heavy Duty Field Knife aka the "NASK") needs no supporting commentary, because it says it all.

We who have been buying, collecting and/or using CPK/Carothers edged products for a few years remember the time when a Carothers product could be easily had from weekly sales held in the Exchange. Now, a sale of 40 units lasts about 10 seconds.

During the period of growth experienced by CPK, Nathan and Jo have continued to acquire machinery and hire additional personnel to support the overwhelming response shown by the customer base while all such comments as Spark's bring to the party even more customers craving their first CPK. And during this period of growth, their commitment toward producing a quality product at a VERY affordable price, with a primary focus on an end user, has meant absolutely everything to customers.

You DO NOT find dissafisfied buyers of CPK products, period. And that's why it can be difficult to acquire your first CPK without a bit of waiting for a few weekly sales to slow enough to allow for it. But the waiting pays off!!
 
Right on, about friggin time! I'm very fortunate to have scored 4 of these HDFKs and have probably helped 4 other souls with scoring 4 more either through me or proxying. Both Bob and Ivan helped me out with 2 very nice ones, so kudos to you two fellas :)

From the very outset, I had adopted this pattern as THE CPK PATTERN if I had to only keep one. I will now relinquish this position to my good friend Mike157 Mike157 since he must've scored like 50 of these by now. Mike is now officially the adopted Father of the HDFK. Mike please let us know if you're in need of some gentle intervention? :p :D
 
Welp, there's still good news:

The secondary market on the HDFKs is still ripe now for potential HDFK buyers because they're still being offered for sale with some regularity and also selling very close to the original CPK prices, here on the Exchange. In a year or so, this situation will change so you've been told: grab 'em while you can, if you had originally missed out. Nathan has make hundreds & hundreds of these so I doubt that he will be revisiting the pattern any time soon.

Intervention? I’m sure there would be multiple relapses. Solitary confinement might work - but then again having a few CPKs stashed away for the appropriate bribes, would probably get me anything I want in prison.

It is hard to stay away from the best!
