The computer rendering is wild!
I wonder how much weight was taken off with that extra long and wide fuller?

 

[Matthew Gregory]

…I see my expectations on Nate’s pricing for this was spot-on.




Inventory manager (Matt):

“We’re losing money on every unit we sell!”

Sales manager (Nate):

“We’ll make it up in volume.”

Gee Nate, since the project already entails complexity, could we get an option for those amazing rubber inlay micarta scales, too?

If we order a dozen will you give us 13 like bagels?

Wow… I had to check AR-Trvlr’s excellent CPK Encyclopedia, but the kukri with a 12” blade and .313” at the ricasso, will be lighter (estimated 25oz) than the 12.1” bladed Behemother that’s .275” at the ricasso (28.4oz).

Can’t wait to feel how it chops. I mentioned using my dad’s Nepalese kukri when I was a scout. They really have impressive chopping ability for the size.

I'm going to pull the tip out to a 12" blade here, instead of the 10" shown in the pictures.

Buy a 10" Kukri, get another 2" free.

Wow, this is way more exciting than I expected. All you skinner voting guys should be OK with this now, haha. Those 3D grinds. A for real performance Kukri inD3V the Carothers way. Can’t wait to see what he comes up with for handle shape.
YeeHaa!

I mean, honestly, this is a really good question

It's not a bad idea

Those scales are still my favorite for choppers. Grippier than any of the other options, and impact absorption/dissipation.

That they’re gorgeous is just an added bonus.

The limited original run means a LOT of folks missed out, and never got the chance to try them.

Just the tip...

I think I have a problem. Every time a Carothers pre-order goes up.

Thanks for doing these, Nathan the Machinist and Lorien - very, very cool.
