Where did these land in terms of being or not being double-edged?
I want you but cannot import D/E here
I'll have to get 2 Dek 2s instead of one of each

the top edge is intended to be an option, the regular version will sport a false edge. The swedge creates a distal taper which terminates at a pointy tip. The unsharpened section between the point and the top edge provides some reinforcement for the tip, and a place to push from during sharpening. No reason it couldn't be sharpened as well...

the design philosophy for double edges is maximum damage, should damage be required

Thanks man

I'm hoping a simple, good looking, non swedge version, no false edge is going to be an option.... I guess we'll know on Friday?

 

[yoko]

Yes please I want that badly!

Thin hollow or high flat ground!!

I can't stop looking at this early grind of the DEK3View attachment 1701432

Was it posted what the final dimensions and grind will be?

Exactly like this....... Something Classy.

Not tacky wannabe

Thanks. This I saw. I was wondering if there was more information, since it is not clear what the dimensions are exactly or if the final will be exactly like this. I am sure we will know exactly at preorder time, since I am confident we will know what we are buying. Just currious.

No worries

I find the initial grind of the knife fantastic, but not a huge fan of the one sent in

Hard to say without details. I would like it to be a good cutter first and foremost. The perceived size lands itself to such a role, plus it would be nice to get a model with cutting ability as a priority. The tip I'd like to be a little different, but I've only seen a few pictures all angled, so again not clear and not known if the production model will be exactly like the one in the picture above. I hope we will know more on Friday.

I say the original grind with a high hollow or high flat 4" cutting edge

And call it the O.G. (original grind or just the OG ... depending on what Era you grew up in lol) DEK3

This is a pure performance D3V sell for me lol

I think Crag the Brewer is so in on this too hahaha

 

[ace]

That would be nice, except I'd get one in MagnaCut as I feel it would be better for a cutter. Funny to call it OG before an original, production version even came out

If there is a bevel on the spine but it isn't actually sharpened does it still count as double edge? Thickness before sharpening would be pretty thin, so it might still kinda cut a little.

Hmm hard to tell with Australian laws, they are very restrictive. Looking forward to seeing these either way!

Love the reverse tanto. I already have something very similar from another maker…minus the handle magic.
