That HDFK is gloriousI got the HDFK with antique micarta awhile back when they were first offered. I’m really liking the buffed burlap on the FK2 prototype too.

Those are beautiful Gus, the field knife in burlap is exactly what I am going for. Any chance of it going for sale?I got the HDFK with antique micarta awhile back when they were first offered. I’m really liking the buffed burlap on the FK2 prototype too.

Thanks Martin! I don’t think it will be going on the chopping block, but there is a preorder coming up soon.

Too bad the pre-order won't have an option for that sweet engraving on the otherside.

I think you know that I was joking but one can always wish.
I only want one small knife pre-order at a time and I'm actually leaning towards a preorder on the UF instead simply because it's an established pattern and we're running out of stock and there still appears to be some demand for it. I might know somebody who could proxy for you on a FK2 sale though.

....sales seem to really tax the forums.
Ain't that the truth! I set alarms and worked two computers to try for today; kept getting the overloaded capacity message. Pretty awesome to see such demand for CPK sales. I think it makes it that much more rewarding when one gets in.
To not entirely thread hijack, absolutely love the antique on your HDFK Mr. Gusbuster. It reaffirms my decision to go for those scales on mine. It was a tough decision with so many great choices that we are given, but i believe i made the right one for me.
Anyone have a pic of "aged" or "used" antique micarta? Curious to see how dark it may get

It stinks! The rancid stench it left behind on my hand forced me to amputate it with the UF.

Must’ve missed this somewhere. What are those scales?
Osage over black something liners?
Amazing knife...
