Nathan, I realize that you are in the process of bringing out the survival knife right now, but there are many (myself included) who would still love to buy your field knife. I realize that the pre-order threads' purpose was to ease the transition, but it's such a great little knife and there are still many who want one. Is there any possibility of doing additional runs especially considering the help you have recently hired? Thank you.
I'll do one last batch of Field Knives in January or February. Probably 20-30 of them. They're in process now and that will be the last of that pattern. I'll revisit a Field Knife again in a future pattern.
Nathan,
I've taken the scales off my FK and now EDC. I notice one of the screws is run all the way down into the female threaded barrel, and the oppose screw is not (and the depth is set based on the overall thickness of the scales at each particular fastener location). This is the case for all 5 fasteners.
I have tried to get the fully-seated screws back out of the female barrels and cannot break them loose. I would like to center them up as best I can so that they are as close to equally engaged as I can get them. Suggestions to get the stuck/seated screws backed out? I'm thinking of a little heat. Thoughts?
I think this is solving a "problem" that isn't a problem, but if you want to center the hardware you'll have to break loose the Loctite, which can be done with heat. If things get boned in the process Jo can send you replacement hardware. This really isn't necessary though, the scales are properly pinned in place and held down secularly with the hardware as the knife is delivered, I don't understand why you'd want to change this?
Have you guys seen the scales Tony makes? I'm rooting for him to get them off so he can get to work!

Nathan, is there a limit per person for your planned LC sale on 1/06? I don't mean to perturb the peace and tranquility in here as this is not intended to come across as a loaded question. I am merely planning on going for one for myself plus proxy for another friend but I also realize that there are 30 of these with much interest and we probably won't see many more in 2017 unless you accept a preorders at some point later on. Thank you.
