it's a more heavy duty tool, focused on the kinds of needs that first response may entail, that takes advantage of the low profile handle and overall size for ease of carry

 

[SharpPancake]

DEK2 sounds like fun.
Lorien are you going to start a new thread as the desing will be created?

My pre-order dek1 just arrived, as perfect as i hoped it would be. Thanks to all the crew at CPK for another fine knife. Now I just have to convince Jo to make a set of grey tero scales for my EDC2 so that all 5 match.

Why ain't you letting us see it?

well, that's a tough call. This DEK1 thread only got about 170,000 views over 75 pages and 3.5 years, so from a marketing standpoint it may not be worth the effort Seriously, though- it's hard to know if this thread has contributed to the popularity of DEK1, leading to more sales, or not. It's kind of a Schrodinger's conundrum, in a certain sense.

my question to you all would be; has this thread influenced your purchase of your DEK1s? Or would you have bought one as soon as you found out they were available, regardless?

do you guys want a DEK2 thread?

 

[Big DJ]

Yes

 

[Airbornetx]

Yes to a DEK2 thread.

I should have seen this coming. The name being DEK1, not DEK should have made it obvious. It's like buying a computer, my 2 DEK1 pre-order will ship next week and we're already talking about DEK2.
Who am I kidding, start the thread, no doubt I'll order at least one.

All I can think of reading this:

"This new thick DEK is for those who want the ability to beat on it all day long without worry"
