Shiv. Shiv. Shiv.

As far as I understand, this is a bit of a 1-off. The top edge is ground a full 2 inches instead of just the typical 1/2". My my estimation, that makes this 11% better.

And this edge cut antique micarta is something awful, actually horrid, worse than the typical biohazard pink garbage you would hate to see. Nate picked out the most revolting stuff he had. He told me so.

I will say this, NtM is a terrible salesman.

This ECAM is as much a hallmark of Nathan's work as is Delta-3V. This stuff is the best I've ever seen.

Ain't this some shiv...

DAMN!!!!
 
Stayed late at work and happy hour. Came home to the Shiv. No way to describe it other than incredible. Ergonomics are perfect and the blade is very light, despite being thick. The closest knife to it that I own is the Busses FMV8.

I was recently going through some old boxes of antiques that belonged to my late in-laws when I discovered what “may” have been an early prototype of the Shiv? Very few of these early prototypes survived testing on cinder blocks and chain links.

Nathan’s tweaks on the Shiv 2.0 truly perfected the overall design and redefined what a sexy handle should look like. 😎

Happy Labor Day everyone! :thumbsup:

Today was a good day as my shiv preorder finally arrived at my house! :D

Many variations have already been posted but I thought I'd share a pic of this combo... A standard stone washed blade with buffed Scarlet Linen and machined blue Ti-Torx hardware.

So, I’ll tell you guys my shiv story. Here’s how this worked out for me.


I’m in Washington state.

On vacation.


At dinner.

Suddenly my phone is blowing up with texts. Nate is all worked up about pricing the new shiv. I spend a bunch of time discussing the finer points with him, probably thoroughly pissing off my otherwise all-too-patient bride, and eventually he reaches what he feels is a reasonable conclusion and signs off.


Then, he IMMEDIATELY proceeds to post the goddamn preorder without telling me a goddamn thing, which of course sells out INSTANTLY.


SO.


Now.





Ask me where my goddamn shiv is.




Never mind, I’ll tell you where my goddamn shiv is.






I didn’t get one. I got F***Ked out of my goddamn shiv, after giving up MY free time to help, so YOU assholes could all get shivs.




So, that’s my shiv story.


As you may guess, I’m just THRILLED about the outcome. Hope you’re all COMPLETELY satisfied with YOUR shivs.
