Yup, this is the feeling of regret setting in.

 

[trevitrace]

Can one of you lucky gents snap a few side-by-sides with an LC to tide me over 'til my pre-order gets here?

 

[ElCaptain]

Yes! Please sir may we have some more!!

Yes Please! Bark on is beautiful!

Which one is your favourite?!?!!!

Also, how the hell did you get a BC and a HDFK? You didn't win on either sale! Either @xxwarderxx hooked you up (just a guess from looking at the winners of both sales) or Nathan did!!! Either way, i'm jelly

If I went back 15 yrs, the one that would get the most use would be the HDFK. And I think it will be the most successful of all. Which do I like the best? I love all these models and it's impossible to say. This was a quick shot and other equal favorites aren't shown, such as the FK, UF and the Shiv. But anyone who knows me knows I have more of one particular model than all others, the Shiv.

But anyone who wanted one and didn't get an HDFK during pre-order was nuts. It is THE winner! IMHO, at least.

I guess I don't know you, Bob!

Is it the EDC or Skinner? Or is there something else I know nothing about?!

That's right, rub it in I'm more than bit upset with myself.

With half the knives made going to the pre orders and the rest going to Friday sales, i'm not too worried. I prefer to buy when the blades are ready rather than pay upfront. jackal_727 you will score on a Friday sale if you stick with it! I'm sure there will be bigger sales like 20 or 30 pieces so you will have much better chances

My LC is long gone Adam, but here's some that might help??

...with a Fiddleback Production Camp Knife

...sandwiched between the Camp and a Bravo 2

...with a custom shop RMD

...and sandwiched between the RMD and a Ratweiler LE

Plus there are good dudes out there who take mercy on us slower (special? ) folks like me. I'm looking at you EBP

Thanks.

Oh I'm definitely going all in! Just gotta hope for bigger sales. I can usually get in the top 20-30

Seeing these comparison shots is the biggest reason I'm bummed. I usually steer clear of knives thicker than 3/16. But now seeing the size of the knife, the thickness doesn't bother me. For some reason I was expecting it to be smaller. Also at the time of the pre-sale I hadn't even handled a cpk. Now having an edc and an LC Ive come to realize that I should just jump in head first and assume the best.

ExtraBaconPlease helped me get my LC. There are definitely great members on here!

As I had stated before, Mr. B^2 is a time traveller. He already possesses and owns CPK pieces which Nathan has yet to make! Trying to guess is futile so just get used to it that Bob curates the future Carothers museum of Knives

 

[MikeKu825]

Users or safe queens Casinostocks ? Personally, I'm going to use one and keep one pretty.

I generally follow a similar guideline. One user, one collector, one gift(if someone actually does enough to warrant the gift) I generally like to have 3 of everything for those reasons.

The boys have already made room for the HDFK...

 

[ManOfSteel89]

Well I guess my ESEE 6 is no longer needed. This thing is perfect including the size and shape of the handle. This is exactly what I've been wanting in a large belt knife/medium camp knife. I'm in love. I need my pair of D3V's so I can keep myself from beating this one.


Great job guys! @Nathan the Machinist @Jo the Machinist Lorien and @CPK Mark

Boy, TRfromMT that Koa looks great in the picture, I'm sure that it looks a lot better in person, can only imagine what it looks like turning it. Nice work!
