Love that dragon sheath Mat! It seems you have acquired a nice Shiv collection. Is that the Meat Eater grind on top?

Thank you Gus. No the meat eating grind is the middle one with the acid etched finish.

Very nice!

Very nice!

It's great to have CPK friends in high places

Me eating grind? Is this in reference to the double edge?

No, it won't eat Me or You

We will have to ask Nathan as to why he called it a meat eating grind but not, that Shiv is not double-edged.

hahaha good coz I was worried about shiv themed nightmares.

I will assume the grind is a bit....more coarse(?) than what would normally be applied, more teeth to the bite, maybe

I've asked Nathan about that terminology in the Ask Nathan a Question thread.

Bob Betzner on here got bit pretty badly by one of his CPK Shivs. They definitely have a very nasty bite

I'll follow the thread. curious as to the answer.

I have learned the hard way that blades demand a blood tithe for fondling them too much. Hope the fella didn't lose any digits.

I know SHIV’s very rarely hit the secondary market but...........when they do, what approximate price range do they sell for? I’m pretty sure I need one.

Thanks,
Justin

It was finally sunny enough to let the boys go outside and play.

No video of the Shiv use, but I swear I split the kindling with mine since it was the current big knife on my bag o'doom

My new Shiv has a pretty impressive provenance, it was Nathan’s personal Shiv.


It is double edged and looks a lot like my Shiv, which has been away at knife camp since the summer.


This one is off spec though, it has been taken thinner with more of a meat eating grind. I haven’t cut anything with it yet.


The Shiv is already my favorite knife, now what am I supposed to call this Shiv? My most favoritest favorite knife? I can’t believe this is my knife.


I really do see a resemblance, I dunno. To me it’s a sort of a Bowie. It’s an honorary Bowie. Actually I just wanted to take this picture.

Good thing Nathan doesn't read these forums. Phew!

Thanks! I just meant I lent it to someone, like I sent my kid to camp.
