Great job with the CPK Encyclopedia

Unless I missed it, I didn't see the 8" Shiv WIP thread linked: https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/advanced-knife-machining-wip-pointy-fighter.1048443/
The Shiv WIP and the UF WIP were the ones that introduced me to CPK several years ago. Against my expectations I now have an UF thanks to the pre-order. Really nice knife, the fit and finish is great considering the knives come "as machined with stonewash", there seem to be less tool marks compared to UFKs for example. I guess the new Mori is working good. If I had to nitpick something I would say the edge could have been a bit better. I think it had tasted a bit too much buffing wheel (looking at the secondary bevel it looks like it has been belt sharpened and buffed), which had rounded the apex slightly. It's a serviceable edge though and since I plan to use and sharpen the knife, it's not a problem for me.
I wish I could afford and justify getting more knives from CPK, but I have to try to restrain myself. The extra shipping costs and especially import fees mean that the prices are multiplied by 1.4 to 1.5 before I get my hands on the knives, that sadly eats some the good value that CPK is offering.
I have to mention that the CPK subforum has a great community too, helpful and friendly people here!
