CPK in February 2023 Blade magazine

[Private Klink]

There is a nice picture of a CPK on page 20 of the magazine, titled "They've Got Your Tac". It states that it is a collaboration between Mark Scrimgeour and Nathan Carothers. Check it out.

[Nathan the Machinist]

Neat

 

[Ciscocbc]

Very cool. Is this knife in Production?

 

[Richard338]

I hope my copy arrives today.
It lists the price for a similar knife... I'd like a couple of those asap if you please!

Whoever got that knife should hold onto it forever since it’s a one-off, and now published!

Why does it say Blade Grind: 10” hollow

And..

Then say it’s Overall Length: 10 7/8”

Blade Magazine misprint?

Just curious

I assumed it meant a 10” wheel for doing hollow grind. I may be way off though.

 

[CPK Mark]

Cool Beings.
It is hollow ground with a 10” wheel.

Cool Beings is People!!!

(Now I get it...human beans...)


Congrats guys. Well deserved publicity.

Congrats Mark and Nathan, and CPK!
At least it’s just Blade. Anybody who sees it is probably already a Bladeforums member and well aware of Carothers Performance Knives.

Out of curiosity, how do knives wind up in the magazine? Is it from the owner or manufacturer who submits them for consideration? The photographer (Coop)? Because we know that's a one-of-a-kind.

I'd guess it's not the magazine editors scouring the planet, independently looking for interesting knives to post, as there would probably be thousands upon thousands to look through/consider.

Mystical exceptionalism leading to rumor. Leading to legend. Leading to the pages of Blade.



I think.

The editor goes through Coop's photos constantly and grabs things he likes for various themes. I had a couple of mine appear despite minding my own business.

SharpByCoop actually submits all photos to various publications like Blade Mag, it's an additional perk of having him do your pics along with the exceptional photography...Jim's the best. That's how the engraved K18 wound up in Knives '23
