I received my EDC2s today - thank you Nate, Jo and Team for running the pre-order on these!
I really love the improved scales. They feel slightly slimmer at the thickest point (mid-palm) and a what looks/feels like a small taper towards the back.
Overall, the handle feels fantastic; it's amazing how you (CPK) can improve on something you didn't know could be better than it was. I still love the EDC scales, but these new ones feel just a little more positive and solid in all the right areas...for my hands, anyway.
As an aside, the Antique Micarta is simply awesome to admire. The depth of the colors and streaking is something that can't really be captured on camera. Each piece is very unique and really adds a little extra CPK signature to these knives.
The revised tip and belly profile are also a minor, but welcomed change. Being just a hair deeper in the belly should make slicing and skinning jobs that much easier. The more pronounced tip will make detail work more precise, though some may prefer the original sloped tip, depending on what they primarily use it for.
Either way, I love the revisions and improvements. This is another clear winner for CPK!
