That's beautifulHow did that Ice-T (covered by JayZ) ol' verse go? I got 99 CPKs and waiting for a dozen more ain't a problem? Something like that!
Mark's fancy schmancy, exquisite and out of worldly hollow grinds and then some, on this BFK in Magnacut:

It took me over two years of respectful pestering, along with some alcohol-infusedI really need to find out how I can get some burlap scales for my reaper
THAT'S AWESOME!!!!!!!The first ever Carothers pattern which started my CPK modus vivendi was the original FK. Was doing some CPK spring cleaning and thought that I'd share Mark's interpretation of the OG-FK:

Fresh off the "oven" another exquisite masterpiece by the GrindMeister. It is extremely difficult to achieve these kinda lines on a small and relatively thin knife (for CPK) but the Master nailed it. 10" wheel primary and 4" wheel for the top clip hollow grinds. The clip area is unchamfered so it can technically throw sparks with your ferro rod if you are crazy to do that sorta stuff with these knives! I think that I had encouraged Mark to buy a number of blanks from Nathan to do some of these. I am not sure that they will all be the exact same, but most likely very similar. Mark informed me that it was fine to post photos and that he will have ~ 9 more readied by around the time of the Gathering.

Fancy dinosaur (probably a turtle-rex) leather sheath by Chad to be posted in another thread.

Oh, ok. I wasn't sure if it was from way back when and you had it squirreled away for some of time. It's a beaut!We started talking about hollow grind EDCs about a year ago; maybe Mark bough the blanks after last Summer (?) started thinking about HG EDCs after last Fall. I dunno really but I received yesterday.
