SDFK is Glorious

[Blues]

Confession plus pics is even better for the soul. And you know it!

Well, mine are both virgins...so right now there's no pix to be displayed but what you've already seen the other day. I imagine there will soon come a time for them to bite deeply into some wood.

ETA: But since you asked...

Nathan the Machinist so what's left in the SDFK inventory at this point? Will there be any more Friday sales for Basic, Signature, Ghetto, Bowie, or any other interesting variation?

Woot!... A new "Super Duty" in the house.

A fellow forum member helped me to score this one and it arrived today!

I have a HDFK.

I do not need a SDFK...


Now, a Bowie SDFK, that might be a different story!

I have an SDFK.

I don’t need an HDFK…

That’s a total lie, I absolutely totally need one.

This is my fifth CPK and I swear they just seem to get sweeter and sweeter.

 

[coolbreezy37]

How do I go about getting different scales and fasteners for my SDFK?

Gratuitous and obligatory SDFK shot.

Nathan has always done an exemplary job and some of the older designs are classics for good reason...but I actually think in terms of usability, cutting ability, ergonomics, they are getting better and better.

So, in regard to the SDFK being "Glorious"...

Originally, I thought the SDFK was supposed to be the poor man's substitute for the now hard to get HDFK...and since I bought an HDFK from one of the members here, I figured, okay, I can move along and pretty much let this one pass.

But for some reason, all the accolades and raves for the SDFK, and later the signature series, got the juices flowing and I found that the little voice in my ear was becoming harder to ignore.

Turns out I was completely off. I can't speak to the "standard" SDFK, but the signature series, (as I suspect is the case for the original SDFK), is nobody's idea of a redheaded stepchild. This knife shines in every respect...compared to anything in its class.

Goes to show how wrong first impressions can be. Mea culpa.

(I know you already knew this. But confession is good for the soul. Or so they say.)

I just got mine today , a basic in burlap. It exceeded my already high expectations. I only have two Carothers Performance Knives. A behemother and the SDFK . I'll have to post some pictures . Awesome Knives. Well thought out and well-executed. Words and pictures fail , until you hold one in your hands . And once you use it , its over . Maybe it's just me , but I'm officially a fan . Worth every damn penny .
