The upcoming Field Knife 2. Production is about to get started....snip....This is going to be a kick-ass Field Knife.
^^^^Mat the CAD image does seem IMO to indicate the Handles will be similar to the HDFK (slightly Narrower?)
Edit: By the way where are those pictures mister?![]()
That’s terrific! Thanks for sharing.A couple of shots of one of my field knife tangs from when I pulled the G10 a few days ago to put unbuffed canvas scales on for the winter months. I applied a light coat of mineral oil to the tang when I installed the black & green G10. This blade has been washed in creeks about twenty times from late last year through this year, and a few more with soap and water at home.

IMHO, they are a MAJOR IMPROVEMENT over the Black Oxide! Goodbye Oxidation
EDIT: The Heads are Noticeably Larger also

Oh No, I did use a HexBoastful showoff. Some of us actually tend to work on Mondays
Just make sure that you don't use your hex tools with these Ti fasteners![]()
Wow thats fantastic, I dont see any corrosion. 20 times in a creek too? Impressive. Ill be sure to coat the tang of any future CPKs.
