Sorry, but I refer to science, neuropsych research and anthropology as my counter to responses based upon one's philosophy/opinion. Duality? I think not, but suggest that science approaches the subject much more objectively than those who consider duality an argument. Philosophy, no matter how basic, nah.

i love Science too. Especially the part which states truth is not arrived at by consensus, and results should be observable, testable and repeatable :thumbsup:

BTW, what are your new year resolutions?

Mine: Post less and listen / read / learn more. How am I doing? :D

You’re not off to a great start with that Matty. But, I appreciate it, as it would be a quiet forum if people posted as infrequently as I. I for one really enjoy hanging out in the CPK forum area. Great group here. I wish I had found this area and these knives sooner.

As for a resolution: I would like to focus more on knives that will be users for me. As such, I am really looking forward to the FK2.

Nathan has historically opened all his previous preorders at 5:00 PM Eastern U.S. time. I don't see any change with that timing with respect the UF preorder. I don't know if you are 15 or 17 hours ahead, but the 5 O'clock hour should be more favorable to yours Down Under as opposed to the 3:00 regular sales hour.

Edited to add: when I asked as to how many hours you are ahead, I was thinking in terms of my own time zone on the West Coast U.S. Your time difference would be less with our Eastern time zone.

Thanks Matt. 5pm is 9am here, so not to bad, even for a big sleep-iner like myself :p
 
Thanks guys^

I wonder if people will post as quickly and frantically as a sale thread?

Yet, has it occurred to me that antagonistically approaching answers to a Random Thought thread would be counterproductive and so I shall fade to black, exit stage left.

you guys don't seem to need my help
 
I'm making more of a conscious effort so to not clog up the ANAQ thread with my own answers #stillnotnathan, #neverbenathan

With that said:

@gusbuster : would be great to be able to get some fancier handle scales options for the UFs slated for the preorder :thumbsup: I think that DIW and Koa are most likely a nonstarter and quite frankly, I would definitely prefer a wicked knife like the UF with some added grip than those slippery materials being offered as an option, but I'm all the way with you if antique micarta and burlap option will be considered :thumbsup:

To our other friend (MB?) who was thinking swedge, as you had thought yourself, any additional customization by CPK based on such added options will ver a drag on their production / delivery timelines. Unless Nathan decides to do some kind of LE edition, say the grey turd version of the UF destined for fun Fridays sales, maybe best to consider what I will be doing by sending your UF to Josh at REK. If there's anyone outside of CPK who can be trusted with your CPKs for professional customization work, that person would be Josh.
 
Bob, the possible offering of other handle scales options during preorders ought not really be disadvantageous to the Friday sales buyers because if you land one during Fridays sales, you have the definite advantage/benefit of getting the knife in hand within a couple of weeks from then as opposed too 6 -12 months from when the preorder books close.

CPK had usually offered some fancier scale options both in the past preorders and also for some of their Blade Show offerings.
 
So now and then I like to be argumentative and stir things up, as in this case:p:D.

If I knew in advance what scales were being offered, and I liked one in particular, I might order the entire lot of scales, with UFs attached.

And my post woke you up, too!

I apparently woke up this morning yearning for an argument, which is no way to start the day. I do believe I am over it now. But watch out!:p:D

I'm usually not fully awake, till its time to be fully alert!

I dunno about the antique micarta with regards to this case because IIRC, it was that option which also bottlenecked the final BC preorder deliveries. I am all for this particular material to be offered as an option and the Q is as to how much of it Nathan has left.
