Random Thought Thread

my random thought for the week;
while it's a very cool feeling to have a big corporation like Boker license one of my designs, it means infinitely more to me that I've had the opportunity to contribute in my way to the growth and success of the mom'n'pop shop that is CPK.

Thanks Nate and Jo for giving me a seat on the CPK shortbus!

On the left side of the bus, no less.

That was a smoking fast sale, even in the land of smoking fast sales! I don't know if I can recall that many replies hitting page one before (38 if my count is right).

It looked like about 40 post in 5 Seconds to me. I believe that's a record for us.

I kind of miss how the Carothers and LA logos used to be on opposite sides of each other on the FK’s.

I had not mentioned it before, but I agree. I certainly appreciate the reason behind why it was moved, at least what I think the reason was. There is a lot happening on the left side of the knife now, and nothing on the right. The old method had a nice balance, with a solid name anchoring both sides, sort of like Nathan has your front,and Lorien has your back.

But now we can have something cool or crude engraved on the right side.

What was the reasoning for moving it?

Even though the new design is still nice and subtle because of the milled logos, it still throws the balance off for me.

My best first guess was to give Lorien equal billing. not make him feel back of the bus on the "back" of the knife.
My best second guess was that Nathan was bored and wanted to do something different.
My best third guess is I don't know the reason, but Nathan does.

Thanks bud, that makes sense.

Either way, this new version looks killer.
