Did you like that sh*t storm I almost caused in there?
I promised to ban myself from the CPK forum for 24 hours at the very least but you know I really have a hard time sticking to my "promises"

Screw that. Nathan is right to run the sales as he does, it's good business and low stress on him and Jo, but there's no crime in asking for fans of his knives to be considerate of others.Did you like that sh*t storm I almost caused in there?

It's all good though. I have an alarm set so I'll be ready for the Light Chopper sale tomorrow. When I'm too slow again I'll buy a GSO-10 and be happy with it all.

TBT, I'm not too enamored with that EDC. It just doesn't do it for me but I think that it will be an excellent option for a tradesman or a hunter because it seems like such a darn perfect cutting tool. Thing 'bout CPK is that he/they retire anything at anytime and moves onto the next thing. Wish I had bought myself a shiv but didn't know of him back then! So now the only way to get one of his retired roster members is to trade for it which means you gotta have one of his currently sought after products as trade-bait plus ca$h

On the bright side, he does seem genuinely concerned about people having to squabble for his knives, he doesn't like that. Not one bit from what I've seen. I'm first up for the next round of preorders on Field Knives, I just hope he does the same with other models.TBT, I'm not too enamored with that EDC.

Love my LC and I feel between that and my old Gen GSO-10, I'm set in large blades department. However if in a year or so a GSO-12 happens to find itself on a Mondays Sale. I'd be all over those! The FK didn't really hit the spot for me but it cuts like mother******! That one will also stay on my
active roster till their survival knife comes out circa Christmas.
Did you miss the preorder on the FKs or do you mean EDC preorder?!

I'm actually next dude up for the FK on the preorder thread. Of the two paradigms, I'd rather pay and wait for S!K than wait to pay and get smoked like I do on the CPK's.

Here's what I figured out which is now going to sound quite ridiculous to follow such nerdy protocol in order to land a friggin knife!
To hit Control + F5 on your Window based PC (I think that;s the refresh command) or Command + R key on a Mac plus fast action on copy / past "I want one" or "I take one" may not be enough
I still think that Nate / Jo don't press the Post Button right on the 3 PM Eastern clock, but I think that the fastest people have an auto refresh app on their 'puter that automatically refreshes a site's page for then as they set it. The lest mouse movement up and down the page gives you a better chance to Paste and hit the Post Quick Reply button!
This is what some of these eff'ers are doing... Maybe you just ought to stick to your preorders

At the rate which you're plowing through that slab, I hope that you enjoy finding yourself in Argentina come morning time

Too late... Just carry on with this monstrosity and if you end up in Buenos Aires, don't forget to send us an e-Card and then go chase some, ehm, ah, how can I put this? Ladies who engage in a very archaic profession and suffer from ill reputations!

She is pretty adorable. Can't believe she's going to be ten (I think) in October.
Managed to get a decent edge on the Tundra. It'll push cut paper but it remains to be seen how it does with regular cutting tasks, seems pretty thick behind the edge.

I second this sentiment and I respectfully request that the Mods ban that sumofabeech Casino for one week!

Let me know if your kydex sheath rattles on that FK as mine does, quite annoyingly although the retention seems to be good but I haven't really tried to shake out pout of its "boots"! I sent an email to David Brown who evidently was the original kydex sheath maker on these but he has not gotten back to me yet. If you come up with a treated leather sheath option, I rather spend the dough with a friendly on here as opposed to go Sagewood, for a quality weather treated leather alternative. Otherwise my FK may go on the sales block when their CPK-SK model (not to be confused with the S!K models) comes out in a few months.
Oh, I forgot I'm self banned
