DEK3

[Bobthebrewer]

Thanks and now you see why I stick with liquids and not images and lighting

Well, I lost the battle for the one thousandth time again today. But I comfort myself in knowing that my DEK3 from the pre-order will be here next month. Supposedly, anyway.

However with pre-orders coming to an end, that and the shiv I also have on pre-order might be the last CPKs I ever see.

Nah, just gotta keep trying....or get a proxy.

Yeah, we tend to help out the regulars when they're in need. People generally get what they want, within reason, if they stick around and don't act like an asshole.

Not that you are acting like an ass, just a general observation after a few years at this

Listen to this newb go on...

I haven't used it yet so I can't give a full review but the edge feels like it could split a hair and then split it again. It arrived late yesterday and got a quick wipe with mineral oil and that's it so far. This is the green/black although with how bright the sun is it's hard to tell.

Quick question;

Is the top swedge on the standard DEK3 unsharpened?

I thought it was originally supposed to be sharp?

*** Well duh... just checked the pre-order, and saw that it's unsharpened. Hmmm... guess I'll have to wade into the pool to try for one if they ever pop up on the regular sales.

I'm there with you friend

It's 'unsharpened', but only a few thou thick. I was using mine today and it's not super comfortable to assist the cut by pushing on it. You could sharpen it in a few minutes...

All I can say is I'd have to be doing something extraordinarily stupid to break my DEK1. And at that point, I'd be the failure, not the knife.

 

[Richard338]

I can't wait to see some of the exotic variants come off the assembly line. I'm going to hold off on sharpening mine for now.

 

[Richard338]

It's a great looking knife, but that "not sharpened" swedge is a no-go for me personally.

I think I misunderstood you. I thought you meant you would want it sharp. Now I'm thinking you want it less close to sharp...

 

[Hammer67]

Breakage was not my concern at all. I just don't need anything sharp-ish on the top of the knife. Personal choice...in case you were replying to my post.

I wasn't replying to your post, but I'm glad you clarified anyway.

DEK3 helped cut all the ingredients up to make guacamole

Can’t wait to use it more

 

[Hammer67]

Bruce, my reply to your not replying to me was still addressing the wrong knife.

Please feel free to reply, or not reply, to my non-replying replies any time the mood strikes you, compadre.

And yes, someone please get this man a beer!

 

[yoko]

This is why you don't drink Imperial Ale

Sorry for the hiccup.

 

[Hammer67]

Fortunately, like the civilized RCMP stations I've visited back in the day, they have alcohol on premises.

I've had some funny and awkward interactions with the RCMP over the years...

GEONBAE Blues !

 

[Hammer67]

Now Canadian Customs...I can tell a funny story about.

Likewise. I'm pretty sure the Customs guys at the Yukon/Alaska border crossing were laughing and shaking their heads long after I left.

The swedge is "sharpish" but NOT sharpened.

Unless you paid for sharpened, which was only a measly 40 bucks.

Or do like I did and pay a mere 75 smackeroos for double edge tip and rear sharp swedge, combined. After all, it's for the Carothers Family College Fund, and I know of no better cause.

This is why you don't drink Imperial Ale and post. I thought you were referring to the DEK 3 since that's the thread. DEK 1? Not worried about breaking that bitch at all. (Nor the DEK 2, by a somewhat wider margin.)

Sorry for the hiccup.

I'm confusing Richard, Bruce and myself now.

For clarity:

Richard, I don't want a sharp-ish swedge. Not my thing, and don't "need" it.

Bruce, my reply to your not replying to me was still addressing the wrong knife. LOL. No way I'd worry about breaking the DEK 1, and if I did manage to do so, it'd be operator error.

Someone, get me a beer.

If I understand Blues here (a BIG if given the level of sobriety or lack thereof which which I type this - hiccup), I agree with him. I was not interested in the DEK 3 without the swedge being sharpened. Either sharpen it and make it useful for cutting, or leave a thick enough spine which is not "sharp-ish" - by "sharp-ish" I mean "sharp" enough to hurt me if I grab it there, but not sharp enough to actually cut anything useful. Actually, unless it is double edged, I really prefer that the edges of the spine should be rounded. Hiccup.
