Thanks Ellie! It is very cool of you to take time to answer questions.
I guess you don't have to worry about the blades warping during heat treat if you grind them afterwards. ;)
Millit is impressing me more and more. :thumbsup:

just DANG does that ground blade ever look nice!! :thumbsup: The grind, the plunge... heck, it even appears finished and ready for scales and a sheath! Now I am really wondering what the finish of the SKs will look like compared to the 'peened' finish of the GSOs...

Yep, just a sharpened bevel and its ready to go. The finish certainly appears smooth.
 
I think they want to scuff up the surface a bit so it doesn't show scratches as much.

My 4.1 F2 is set to arrive today! Ordered on Feb. 8 of this year. Have yet to receive any notice on my 7/7 F2, which was ordered on the same day.

Great news! Thanks for sharing!

I wish/hope others will do the same as they receive shipping notices. It’s really helpful to keep spirits up.

Just one request: maybe post in thread dedicated to the specific model (e.g. AFAIK there are dedicated threads for the 4.1 generally and 4.1 F2). Not a criticism per se, just trying to make it easier for members to find info that may be of interest to them. :)

Thanks again and share a pic!

Yep, I thought of that too, but I didn’t see a dedicated 4.1 thread on the front page and so I posted here as it seemed the most appropriate place.

I’ll see if I can post some pics in a 4.1 thread later. I haven’t even been able to get my package yet as I work 2nd shift. I was hoping they would bring the mail by the time I left for work today, but no suck luck!

Awesome! I have a couple other knives lying around :) and I'm torn between the new spec 4.1, 4.7, and CPK FK as the absolute hands down most useful general use knife I've ever laid my hands on. The 7/7 is a little specialized and the CPK HDFK outpaces it for general use for a bigger camp knife but the new 7/7 is amazing also.

Variety is the spice of life! I'm only trying to decide between the 4.7 and 4.1, but the 4.7's handle gives it the edge.
 
I love the blade size/height on the 4.1 but think that the handle on the 4.7 would be more comfortable for me. However I don't want the extra length plus height of the 4.7, I have a GSO 6 on order and want the smaller knife for carrying when camping.

surviveknivesGSO-5.1 putting in work! Thanks Nathan for sharing, and congrats on your moose! “The GSO-5.1 in CPM-3V cut everything from fire wood to making a quick job of field dressing and cutting through the spine bone of a bull moose! This is hands down the toughest knife in my collection and my first and only large blade choice when I set out for a week long adventure to fill the freezer.”

We love seeing customer photos this time of year! Feel free to share yours with us at photos@surviveknives.com!

Are those order # in the lanyards? Mine are in 11xxx.

Looks as if they are. But someone else will have to chime in to explain them. They’re showing #’s in the 108xx, 4xxx and 5xxx.
My 4.1 20CV F2 is also in the 11xxx range. FWIW, I was told to expect it sometime in Dec.
