I think that's actually super cool !!!

Now that the knives are coming out, here’s the original thread on the knife with all the sketches and mock-up pics, descriptions, the process, etc.

For kydex, it will be necessary to send your Reaper to the sheath maker. I’m going to say that no 2 Reapers will fit the same kydex sheath well. Every grind is different.

for leather, perhaps a certain someone out there will make a one size fits all option...

I'm on the list to get one, just not sure when I'll have it. Will likely start with a batch of 15-20.

There is a list?

There is a list?

It’s one of those lists that you don’t know exists unless you are on it. Hence you not knowing about it.

Really it’s just for super cool sheath makers. That’s why neither of us are on it.
If it’s any consolation the knives they are sent are made of lead, are not sharpened and Nathan licks them all before sending.

Back to the Reaper. I have carried mine during non work hours. Unfortunately, the only cutting tasks it has been called upon to do are breaking down cardboard boxes and opening packaging. It has excelled at these tasks but seems to want to be put to harder use. I will say I love how pointy it is. I could have said “stabby” but I haven’t stabbed anything with it. Its’ tip easily slides into all the tight spots and slices through the twist ties in todays packaging like a CPK through lead chain.
Admittedly, I’ve been hesitant to put it to tougher use because… well… I mean, have you seen the beautiful grind lines?

 

[CPK Mark]

No list. Just for a few sheath makers, and those knives will probably be blanks with rough grinds.

Sorry, I didn't mean to cause undue drama, Mark and I talked about me getting one way back at the drawing stage and have touched base a couple of times since then, but no ETA. "List" is a term I used, my bad.
