Someone please wake up MattinLA from his nap!
Regarding the price: I recently had a custom Khukuri by a very well known and highly regarded ABS mastersmith. Back in the day, almost 8 years ago, those used to be in the 1800 range. I don't know about the prowess of that piece but looked exquisitely done, both in terms of fit and finish. However, the steel used was no where near 3V, let alone Nathan's D3V! That piece is now easily a 2500 piece which that maker's collectors would go crazy over a piece of his wares made like that.
The moment when Nathan had decided to go for 12" instead of the originally planned 10", this future CPK-Kukri really became a no brainer for me at max numbers and max options! Call me a homer if you want (you'd be right) but I would bet the house on the CPK-Kuk over that other one on any day!
