This past Monday I bought my a 1997 K3500 dually extended cab with a supercharged 454 !

Forced induction kinda makes it a hybrid.

Damn looks like I missed all the fun today! Had a bitch of a time changing a pump motor and seals in a bearing assembly today, so got home late. Then towed the trailer and family up to the in-laws for the weekend in Sedro. This new truck was the best investment I’ve ever made. Turbo diesels are the shit!

A slap between men is just meant to be an insult. That's how I always understood it.

If he slapped him with a glove, he would be challenging him to a duel.

Yep where I came from that was called a bitch-slap and the whole point was to insult not injure. He called him out, proved his point and walked away

If the UF2 was a 4.5 knife I think it would be my perfect fixed blade knife, maybe even better then the FK2…maybe.

More or less a DEK1, no?

Im thinking from what I have read, more like a DEK 2 ?

The upcoming re-release of the DEK1 may be what you're looking for.

Will you be changing the tip thickness/geometry to resemble the Uf2 at all?

Dek1 with a swedge. The Dek2 has an interesting second corner on the edge, very different profile.

Note that the FK2 and UF2 have similar thickness. The Dek1 is thinner.

I remember Nathan saying something along the lines of “the Dek1 is a fighter that you can also use for camping, the FK2 is a camper that you can fight with if you have to”

You can fight with a rolled up newspaper if you have to. Personally, I recommend not getting into knife fights at all.

Ever.

(Of course, I know that neither of you were recommending it.)

Always bring a gun to a knife fight. You don't need to get as close.

Or avoid it altogether.

The Field Knife makes no concessions for concealability nor does it try to be a weapon but you could certainly conceal it and any knife can be a weapon. And, like the Field Knife, the DEK1 is a very durable high performance cutting tool and it could be used for bush craft, but you'll be able to use the Field knife for more extended cutting chores before your hand and arm gets tired.

I would carry the Field Knife camping. Unless I wanted it to serve self defense. And I would carry the DEK1 as an EDC while mowing the grass in case I get attacked an insane dog attack (this actually happened to someone here on our forum and is why we Deked out an EDC) unless I planned to build a shelter with it afterwards.

They're both outstanding general purpose cutting tools. Choose the DEK1 if you're looking for a more concealable EDC package that doubles as a weapon, and choose the Field Knife if you're going to be cutting a lot of stuff with it all the time like a tradesmen or someone in the woods a lot.

Just to make sure I quote correctly ... Nathan on Dek1 vs FK.
