Cpk edc

I'll definitely be needing one of these.
 
Wanted to add, any plans for pushing the edge geometry on this one below 0.020 at the shoulder, maybe even as low as 0.010"?

I considered that, and I may grind a few really thin like that, but the concept for this knife is a rough and ready user for a trades person and a convenient woods knife. Cut and strip wire, deburr PVC pipe, cut the bump off the end of a cut 2X4 etc. I use stuff like this in the shop and I think nothing of shaving a little metal off a fixture etc. It's convenient to have a tool that doesn't need any special care to keep from damaging it.

I love a really thin knife, and I'll make some, but this guy is going to be pretty middle-of-the-road.

edit to add: I will grind a few extra thin, just for you :thumbup:

I'm also going to do a few "racing" Light Choppers that are thin and 15 DPS. They'll be more fragile but they'll be Lightsabers.

Very cool response :thumbup: You don't need to grind anything special for me :p I just love watching makers push the boundaries as they strive for peak performance in a given design. Eagerly anticipating the results!
 
I'm not a hunter but from the ergos, it appears that EDC can also become a great skinner!
 
That would be a good butchering pair! All you would need on an elk hunt right there!!! I really hope to score a field knife for my September elk hunt. That would be a good edge retention test if we can down a couple Bulls.
 
Very, very nice. What size hands do you have Lorien? Numerically is better if you happen to know but glove size is OK too.
