EKT Companion-GEN 2 now up on IndieGoGo

Guys, Jeff over at cutlerylover advised that I post a funding campaign for the second generation EKT Companion on Indiegogo. It is up and running. The new generation will be compatible with the first gen handles, but be USA made, flat ground instead of saber ground, and will be in CPM20CV instead of CPM S35VN. They are going to be great! Check it out:

I wanted to address this comment specifically. Ronnie isn't being arrogant. His sheath work is really that solid. His sheath is an amazing addition to the knife package and I'm super excited to offer it with this knife. These aren't cheaply made, mass produced sheaths. This is QUALITY kydex bending at it's best. I will only put the best around my knives, and I consider Ronnie's work to be just that.

As of right now, we are sitting at 30.26% funded, with $5,750 of the $19,000 needed raised in only 4 days!!
HOLY COW!
I'm speechless. I cannot believe that there has been this much support. The knife is amazing and I know you are all going to love it.
Only $13,250 to go! I know we can do it! Let's make the USA made Companions a reality!

 

I just got the first contribution/preorder too! This is going to be great!!

I will be emailing everyone on the waiting list over the weekend to inform them of the campaign.

Cutlerylover will be doing a psa type video on the campaign as well.

I need to sell at least 130 knives on pre-order to get them made. We'll see what happens!

 

Hey! Thank you! I appreciate the support! Spread the word and lets get the campaign funded! It's at 5% right now after 2 days.

 

The second gen is going to be downright freaking amazing. CPM20CV is one of my favorite steels.

The campaign is at 12%, $2275 of $19000 so far! 57 (I think) days left! Thank you to all the contributors so far!!

 

Thank you for your contribution!!
I chose Indiegogo because it was what was recommended to me. I chose flexible over fixed funding because I'm an idiot and didn't quite understand what I was choosing. How's that for an answer?

If folks get scared off, they get scared off. I'm not going anywhere. If I steal thousands of dollars in the course of interstate commerce, I'm pretty sure I get a felony. If I get a felony, I get my medic license revoked. If I get my medic license revoked I lose my job. If I lose my job I can't buy food. And, I like food. See? I'm not going anywhere. (That was like a horrible rendition of "If You Give a Moose a Muffin.")

I'm trying to decide if I want to add extra options in the form of additional scale choices, extra sheath options, maybe different colored liners? I have to weigh the complicating nature of too many options with the ability of everyone to customize their knife.

YOU ARE GOING TO LOVE 20CV! It is my favorite blade steel, and these are going to be amazing knives run at 61 Rhc.
