Would someone be so kind as to post more photos/angles of their Satin Dek?
Trying to decide if i should get one or stick to stonewash. Would really appreciate extra photos

Acid wash flats and satin primary grind combo

XtianAus here‘s satin and stonewashed together. The satin AEBL isn’t acid washed though, the flats are finished so smooth that it has a sheen to it, absolutely beautiful knife in that finish, but the stonewashed is nicely done as well.

Thanks both, those are two stunning pieces

Ok it's time to sell my edc2...

Handled a bunch but new/unused
Black linen micarta scales
Epoxied scales for protection under there
Vertical sheath

I'll post photos in 6hrs once I wake up again.
I'll also likely pull this off if it doesn't sell quick within a few days, lest i get overcome with regret...

$412 paypal G&S sent from Australia with tracking and insurance (or $400 f&f)

Hey brother, may want to clarify if that is $412 AUD or $412 USD.

Also, if it is $412 AUD, I’ll just have you send it back here to me.

Is that a swedge + sharpened back tip combo?

It is

 

[Blues]

It is

You're supposed to preface your reply with "not jus_gus"

 

[bluemax_1]

It is

Thanks.

OK, OK... I guess that looks like the closest I can get to a doubled edged ~4" CPK. Preorder revised again

 

[Fonedork]

I think the sharpened swedge + sharpened tip DEK3 is gonna be like a little vest bowie

 

[Grenock]

……….a little vest bowie

Oh hell, Nathan will never make them now.

Oh I think it's the opposite, I think it'll be a gateway knife to making a proper 9 1/2" + bowie

That's a lot of knife to tote around...this one has an 8.75" blade



How about something a little smaller?

Those are certainly nice looking knives man, but I don't think these knives really do proper bowie stuff (the deadly b a c k c u t) until the blade is around 10"

Thanks for the discussion guys. I've got several pieces stuck out for heat treat. I need to sketch up some new ideas for chunks of 3V, Magnacut, and W2 I have on hand.
A vest Bowie you say...

I learned a long time ago that knife fighting isn't my thing...



But yeah, a little more length would certainly lend itself to that technique.

Haha, I have been stabbed in the line of duty myself. Took a couple years break from the hobby after that one...

W2. A man after my own heart. The only piece I have with W2 is from Don Hanson, which he named his "Blues Trapper"

Nice! Don is famous for having a huge stash of the best W2. I'm holding my breath that the stuff I bought elsewhere will produce a nice hamon...
