Good afternoon, I was wondering if you can provide an update on when the 5” basic field knife will be available for purchase?
Thank you for your time 🤓!

There were a few that did not fit into the main heat treat lot that are now heat treated and will be available here on blade forums and on our website in a couple weeks. We announce details of our upcoming sales in our "next sale" thread which will be updated when we have better information.

Is it possible that some black canvas micarta BFKs are actually black linen micarta?
And if I ordered a black canvas micarta BFK but got a black linen BFK do I owe CPK money?
Asking for a friend.

It is possible. We moved a bunch of material when we moved the shop and then again when we moved raw material from the main shop to a storage container. It's entirely possible. Complicating things we have my supplier for black (Acculam) and Jo has a special supplier for the double black and we have material from them too.

Nathan the Machinist Nathan the Machinist , Is there a chance for a run of choppers this year or next (LC, MC & Behemoth)? I'm especially interested in the Behemoth, but probably would not turn down an LC also. I do have an MC, and it's a great knife. I see other guys too have been posting WTB ads lately for these knives. Thanks!

Yes it's possible.

Well, my friend ordered one in black canvas and one in black linen. They look the same to me.

We had a batch of black canvas come in that had less light color than usual, so it is a little darker than our normal black canvas. But, I may have messed up and sent the wrong scales. Unfortunately it happens on occasion. If it is a problem, I am happy to take a look and see if I can fix it. Thanks, Jo

My friend is happy with what he received.
 
Nathan,
Have you started to do the final grinding on
The double edge Utility Fighter 2s yet ? Are they back from heat treatment? When should we expect to start seeing them ship?... thanks again for your time and help!

This is the two different batches of black canvas micarta side by side. One just seems a lot blacker.
