I want to warn people, there are scammers on the internet now so you need to beware.
We don't send paypal invoices anymore. Our Swipe (SwipeSimple) invoice will come from AIM Industrial. If it's somebody else, it's not us.
Today we have Signature Field Knives in tweaked Delta 3V, Magnacut and Cruwear
We also have Basic Field Knives in tweaked Delta 3V, Magnacut and Cruwear
Also 10 Fat Bastard Field Knives available today for $500. Still ironing out the final bugs on these. Might not ship immediately.
Since this is a mixed inventory sale, please be sure to state, here, what you are buying so folks will be able to understand if there is still a knife available. This is an open order for the day, but there are only 10 Fat bastards available.
This new tweaked Delta 3V is not an improvement. It's not even very much different than regular Delta 3V. But it is a little better at higher hardness and it is a good fit for certain knives and certain people who want that little bit more of a crisp edge. Tweaked Delta symbol.
We aren't going to stop using our regular Delta 3V. This is a McRib kind of situation.
This new run of our classic Field Knife pattern is a fantastic and well thought out tool knife with a best-in-class balance of cutting ability, durability and edge retention. The blade and grip are well thought out and will perform in the many grips used by a tradesman, and bush crafter. This is an excellent value for a high quality cutting tool that will perform reliably for a lifetime with well above average durability and edge retention.
Specs (signature series):
CPM tweaked Delta 3V, 62 HRC, .188" thick at ricasso, sharpened 20 DPS.
Total length 10.4"
Blade length 5.5"
Weight 9.1 oz
Grippy 3D machined scales in your choice of black or natural micarta
18-8 stainless steel fasteners
Mashed Cat sheaths with semi rigid drop loop are custom made for these knives and are well designed and well made. TecLok available upon request.
Here's a video of the original Basic 5 doing stuff:
The new Basic 5 has a few minor tweaks.
The signature location is changed
The sharpening notch is tweaked
The primary grinds are a little thinner (the OG was developed for Amazon, this second production run is for you guys)
The primary grinds are finished to a higher standard than the OG build (again, this second run is for you guys)
These are all field grade, milled, ground and tumbled with tool and grind marks.
WE ARE RUNNING A LITTLE LOW ON SOME OPTIONS
$465 in canvas micarta, black or natural, signature series (as shown)
$350 in canvas micarta, black or natural, basic series (as shown)
Other scales options:
Scales, substitute for basic micarta:
Black Linen micarta $10
Double Black canvas micarta $10
OD green micarta $10
Blue canvas "micarta" $20
Double Black Linen micarta $20
Double "Red" canvas micarta (maroon color) $20
Tri-Color Canvas micarta $30
Burlap micarta $20
Scarlet Linen micarta $30

Vintage micarta (International Paper) $30
Crusty Vintage (International Paper) micarta $50
OD green or Orange or Black G10 $10
Terotuf (grey or Orange or OD green) $20
The Fat Bastard is really thick and dumb. You shouldn't buy one.
If you decide to buy this stupid knife, it is $500.
You should buy a regular Field Knife (a brilliant piece) and put the difference into a Roth IRA instead.
To place an order stake your claim in this thread and Jo will contact you to finalize your order. If you don't hear from her by mid week next week, contact her at jocarothers at g mail dought com
^folks who are posting here to purchase a knife that don't have an email listed in their profile and also aren't set up to get PM's (because they don't have a gold membership), Jo can't contact you so you will need to send her an email
If sales tax is due (due to your location) your order will be discounted so the total is the same as everybody else.
Shipping is already built into the price (BF policy) but if you get more than one the additional shipping will be deducted from your total.
Since these are being built to order it can take a few weeks to get everybody shipped.
Come by here in two weeks for one more drop of Fat Bastards.
Thank you. Jo, Mark, Bo, Chris, Trevor, Tanto, Abigail, Harrison and I appreciate you.
BTW, we have a website that we post some old inventory on sometimes if anybody is interested. https://carothersknives.com/shop/
I'm starting to sell some of the high concentration diamond stropping shmoo that I use to strop every CPK and also the competition choppers with an unprecedented number of Blade sport wins including multiple championships. It's special, it works and I'm going to start selling it on our website. information here: https://www.bladeforums.com/threads...ion-diamond-shmoo-stropping-compound.1986024/
It's $50 if you want to add it to your order.
