You would make a terrible ninja

Nah, this is how it works:

1) Approach enemy in plain sight.
2) Enemy: "DAAAAAYUM THAT'S A COOL SWO-*URK* *DIES*"

Once the decision is made on color options can we get an announcement? I'm kinda indifferent and gray would be fine, but the bright green or bright blue would be pretty awesome.

Sure. Most likely it will be gray, OD green, and bright green.

Just wondering, how long do invoices take to be sent out? I just want to make sure my email went through and that I did everything correctly.

I have started sending out invoices today. I have not gotten very far. I will send you both an email and an invoice. I think I will be able to contact everybody by Wednesday at the latest.

Jo, is the deposit 50% of the base cost, or 50% of the total order with shipping and options included?

Good question, I usually regret not getting the wood scales, they are beautiful. Paying half now might ease the the pain.

Orange would be spectacular on the K20 !

Jo. When your talking 360-700 days out a day or two isn't going to matter. Take you time. I think most are still catching our breath

Heck I only sent my e-mail late last night, I spent the rest of the weekend celebrating.

Well... dang...

Now I have thoughts bouncing around my head of getting extra TT scales to grind down to proportions appropriate for a silk ito wrap...

The work may involve more than just grinding down the scales though.

How about machined diamond patterns on the scales like how they make custom Glocks

Edit: i take back the glock part, those patterns are made with a heater tip pen, but you get the idea

The oval cross section has the 'thickness/width', and the 'height/depth' to consider, which is why I'm considering getting spare TT scales. If I mess those up... oh well.

While the thickness/width is what can be ground down to accomodate a (pseudo) traditional ito wrap, if the handle construction is like all the other CPKs, including the K18, then the 'height/depth' is dictated by the skeletonized handle, which I'm NOT interested in altering.

The plus side is, Nathan fashions the handles so they work for a wide range of hand sizes.

With my hands juuuust able to palm a basketball though, I can accomodate more height/depth than someone with smaller hands.

Sorry I didn't respond to this sooner. 50% of everything but shipping. Shipping is at 100%
Thanks!

Good morning Jo,
Can you tell me what scale options you have available for the DEK1 these days?
Thanks
