Fat Bastard Field Knife Picture thread

The best micarta IMHO

Thread 'THE ECAM Scales thread'

Apr 13, 2020

Let this be THE thread for CPK wearing vintage/antique edge cut micarta scales. CPK have such a recognizable look, and any CPK wearing AECM even more so!

Considering we have a thread showing off the color variations in the signature on the blades, a dedicated thread for AECM scales seems self evident!

@Nathan the Machinist

These fat bastards have been plagued with technical challenges. I didn't like the heat treat response so they were all spheroidized annealed and run again in October.

Almost all of them are getting some manual grinding to get the lines to line up better. That's me and Mark.

They take a lot longer to sharpen than I anticipated

This knife is making my hair fall out. Not K18 bad, but they are definitely making my hair hurt.

You’re welcome
oh, and thank you for making them

Nathan why do you think they have been so bad? The super duty is also 1\4 in thick did it give you trouble as well?

I’m obviously #notnathan, but what I know about the Delta process is that it’s not as simple as sending off to heat treat, tempering and then cleaning the blades up.. they have a lot of mad scientist and witch craft stuff they do after HT and any time you are pushing the limits on steel a positive outcome is on a razor edge.

Looks like mine will be out for delivery tomorrow. I can’t wait to see what it’s like in hand!

Same for mine, I should've had it last night but had an address issue. I watched the UPS man drive right by..... should be all good now and hopefully have it tonight!

 

[Redclay]

Finally here and man all I can say is thick girls DEFINITELY need love too…

Very well done and beyond my expectations just like every other CPK I have gotten!

 

[Non.Nisi.Te]

I feel like all I've seen so far are glamor shots, someone put one of these bastards to work!

 

[whited3]

It's here

 

[whited3]

[SpyderPhreak]

Not panicking yet, but mine still hasn't been scanned since it left Greensboro, NC at ~3:45am on Saturday morning.
