Harsh!

Nate, we know that you have strong ideas re the carefully balanced design elements of your blades. But once it's sold, it's not yours anymore. The paying customer is free to make a blade their own. I generally celebrate the concept, regardless of whether I like the results or not. Many I like, some are fugly.

Try raging and venting to all around you, just not on the keyboard.

Not trying to be mean... but guess he can rage in his sub

To whom who mods what's theirs .. very cool !


But the original designer is def allowed their own opinion

Anyone can draw a joker face on the Mona Lisa (not saying the SDFK is the Mona Lisa)... but would we disagree with da vinvici if he said nahhhh

Have to disagree, here.

While it's true that once the buyer has it in hand, they're free to abuse it all they want; Nate's comment is totally understandable.

He puts a LOT of effort into the design, form and PERFORMANCE of all CPKs. If someone wants to bastardize a CPK, as a manufacturer/designer, I can fully understand NOT wanting my name/brand associated with something that I think now looks and performs subpar to my design criteria and manufacturing standards.

I wouldn't want someone clueless to the brand, to see someone else's abortion of a mod job to then think, "CPK? I saw/handled one. Looked/performed pretty shitty TBH".

Grind the name off and grind it into a spork that would put you in the hospital if you ever tried to eat with it, the maker wouldn't care. Your money. Do what you want. As long as no one associates it with the brand.

Look at that thing. It's nice that he put an unmolested CPK right there to compare to. Take a GOOD look at what a CPK looks like, then take a look at the knife above it. If I were Nate, I wouldn't want my name/brand associated with it either.

^ very well put Max. I was mumbling and fumbling a post but pulled it in the last seconds after I saw yours.

Just to add, all these years later, I have never seen Nathan harsh or raging on here. To borrow a famous past phrase, I dare say that he is actually a very stable genius! In fact he's so calm that some of his posts and videos have put me to sleep, he's really that good! Throughout the years, I have only seen Nathan get really pissed off at a couple or few people, lowering the ban hammer on their azzes only to resurrect them back to life later on because he seems to be altruistic by nature. In the CPK code of ethics there is one very sacred and sacrosanct line which shall not be crossed because that will result in banishment from CPK for eternity. Defacing and mod'ing ones CPKs is not that line. I am sure that he has spat on at least half the knives which he has sent me throughout the years but I don't know this as a fact, I just think of this as the truth 🤣
