Bump. looking for updates, pleaseAny updates on this?
How about a pre-order with magma cut option - yes please![]()
An overbuilt Dek1? I smell perfectionCool! My DEK2 is getting closer to my hands!
I’m big on stropping after every other hard use for my knives. I noticed that my knives start to develop a convex like grind due to the natural stropping movement I utilize. My BFK still retains the factory edge, due to fact this knife will probably take a long time to dull.It would be nice if some of these ( DEK 2/ DEK 3) were made with a convex grind, no secondary v edge. I guess they would be more labor intensive as a cnc machine may be incapable of producing that, and more hand grinding/sharpening required. Fallkniven convex grinds come to mind.
I am having trouble picturing the DEK2 with the milled swedge option that it is being offered with and I haven't found any definitive input on that (maybe should have asked here, now that I think about it). Regardless, I took the gamble and added that to my pre-order. I really like the swedge on my DEK1 and don't regret it in the slightest but the DEK2 blade is a different animal - I suppose we will see in a timeframe not to exceed 18 months.

I’m probably going to try to score one during a Friday sale too.
I was thinking the same thing as you guys, and then once I see one I can learn to live with the regret of not preordering itMe too.
