Call me crazy, but these knives don’t all appear to be Shivs? The green circle looks to be longer and thinner than the yellow. But if the green are the Shivs, what is the yellow??

Perhaps?? Anyway, looks like a great shindig. Keep the pics coming!!

They do appear to be HD from the pics.
I see HDFK lineage there, as well as SDFK, combined with a modified UF handle.
Perhaps seeing the outrageous secondary market prices on HDFK’s Nathan decided to take his cut and make a HDFK2.

ETA: the guard and handle are very fighter-y.
 
Nathan on the knife on the right, in the random thread: "It also has more tip at the tip. That's a 7" UF."

(reground, but you can still see the fuller)

I guess the middle one is one as well.

I have so many questions

What did I do to my knuckle?

How did I get all these splinters?

Why am I wearing all these Band-Aids?

How long was I walking around with dog shit on the bottom of my boot?

Bahahaha

This made me bust up laughing. I think it really annoyed my wife because we were laying in bed and she just woke up. Lol

Oh man, sounds like a good time. I'm glad you're all enjoying yourselves! Stay safe and hydrated!
 
Hard to tell exactly from the enlarged picture with the yellow circle but they do look like some secret HDFK(2) project that Nathan must have been hiding up his sleeve till this event. I agree with my fellow CPK'er who opined about Nathan realizing that he's leaving some serious $cratch on the table with the secondary market's HDFK prices. I very much doubt that this new version, if it is that, will have the famous S-Grind of the OG-HDFK but nevertheless very exciting to see this. Someone had said maybe the FK3? I dunno, I don't see any notches on the thumb ramp but the pic is not hi-res enough.

ETA: I've forgotten what the original HDFK looks like under the scales!
