Oh man, do I want a Behemoth Chopper so badly or what?!!! I know that it will not have an immediate practical utility for me and I think that I just want one so badly because I let myself get dragged into the psychological mind warfare of owning Carothers fine and ultra hard to find pieces, before Nathan / Jo decide to pack it all in and drive into the sunset at Serengeti in their future new VEHICLE!

Do I deserve a B.C? Well no and neither do 95% of you flutters! That said, it's an equal opportunity FCFS and therefore why not?! I'll throw my hat into the ring just for sh*t and giggles. you'd never know! But I do have a backup plan in case I should fail: I'll be running to Mr. Keffeler and will throw myself at his manly feet while sobbing like a little girl to take me as a potential customer. Heck, thinking of it more: I may do that anyway as these do not need be mutually exclusive. I much rather have a USA made / West Coast raised Large Chopper than those Ruskie Shiros some of you namby pambies tend to sport! Sports :p

If practically entered the equation, I would have about two Busse blades and an Field Knife...

I am gonna find a way to score a BC, or at least get in on the pre-order this time, damn it~!!!
 
You guys crack me up. And Bob, get that knee better. My dad has 2 bad knees and its no fun. And how does Nathan have time to keep up with all this clowning around? I am barely wedging in the time to keep track of all the threads, and I am missing out half the time! If I could make 2 copies of me, life would be awesome!

Mom had her left knee replaced in Jan 2015 and as her caregiver I gotta tell you that it was lots of work for me! The darn right knee is giving out too so I'm gonna be extra busy again ferrying her between surgeon's, Hosp, PT sessions! Somehow and somewhere, I must've turned into her mother! :confused:

I cloned myself once.. but I immediately realized there could only be one. A battle ensued, I'm not sure who won, but I am confident that it was me.

I can attest they're not the same people. I've sat down with both of them at the same time. This is a picture taken from our last dinner together:

obviously if they were the same person there wouldn't be photographic proof like this.

Nathan, you should run for president again.

All you guys are the best, thanks. I started out the day on a downer because about five days ago, I took a fall (something that never happens to me) and had been suffering but recovering until yesterday when I took another fall on the same knee. I woke up surlier than hell, and think that put me in a different mindset. My initial post was serious as hell but would never have seen the light of day if not for the injuries (a body nothing but a mass of pain lol). You have made my day. Honestly, thanks. What a great subforum/bunch of guys!

EDIT: Gotta go now and mail a knife to a new CPK collector, the pain is a little more bearable thanks to y'all.

Good ole Bob is a man of his word...told me he hadda crawl on his bad knees, over sharp gravel, for the last hunerd yds to the P.O. after his horse died, but he did it. I'm proud to look forward to this wondrous machination gonna appear in my mailbox in two days or so. I've read a lot of flak about these CPK EDC's and it's high time to check 'em out.
I like this Bobby-guy! For such a young fella he is surely impressive. Glad that he agreed to take a loss on it, and only charged me twelve hunerd buckeroos.
cheers, guys.

With the BC, Jo beat her normal 2X4 time by about 15%. I also got through a 2X4 in fewer hits than usual (5 good whacks). At 24 oz it's not particularly handy, but it bites really deep.

It's not competition legal, but if it were it would be very competitive.

This has the potential to be a HUGE Pre-Order if one becomes available!

Nathan has not decided if this (The BC) will be offered (Available) for a Pre-order yet!o_O:eek:

Preorder? I haven't even decided if I want to make these damn things at all? There will be five made available on Friday and there were 10 more in process before the NASK production got everything else set aside that I will finish at some point in the future. Being prototypes they're labor intensive with a lot of hand grinding so it will have to wait for an opening.

Honestly these are too big for our process. In theory I could make a 36" sword, but the reality is quite a bit different. The BC is too long for me to grind the flats on my platen. Too long for my surface grinder. To big for one of our tumblers and it gets weird in the other tumblers. It's a big knife and it's a little out of our comfort zone to process. For example, if we were to set up to actually mill the bevels, it would take a cutter with an unusually long length of cut (we use 1 1/4" LOC, but the BC would need even longer), and I don't think we could run more than one fixture in a machine at a time. It's a prototype. I decided today the knife itself justifies production, but I haven't decided if we want to set up to undertake their production yet.
