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.

I have to agree about it looking a little busy on the one side. I also like the balance of branding on both sides. Both logos are awesome and this small detail would never prevent me from buying such a great knife.

This is just my visual preference not a complaint by any means.

The FK2 is sure to be a winner regardless!!!
 
Something tells me that the placement of both marks on the front side of the FK2 was a decision driven solely by a cost analysis (which includes cost of production), factoring in the number of passes, etc, it takes to accomplish brand placement.

In other words, had the branding remained as before, a buyer would likely be paying more for the FK2. Just a guess, but Nathan will most likely speak up if I'm wrong.

Much has been written, over time, in the Customs subforum about this subject, though more about the look of the branding than the placement itself. CPK knives are produced with the user in mind, who through use typically cares little about the placement of the maker's mark but rather how the knife performs. So any savings that can be engendered through cost analysis, to keep the price down, would be a driving force, at least IMHO.
 
This is my favorite branding. :thumbsup::D
