The "Ask Nathan a Question" Thread

If this has been previously posted, my apologies. Has the Final Specifications been posted for the K-20?

I saw the overall length and Blade Length, but nothing on the thickness and width of the blade

I can wait till Friday at 5 o'clock eastern, just curious
 
I don’t want to bother everyone with my quest for orange handles, but here is an example of perfect color orange micarta…….

I have not found this color micarta for sale, but maybe CPK will see some and consider that many of us lIke bright orange handles?

If I could find that by a quality American manufacturer, I would be happy to get some. :)

Despite what they may say, that is not micarta. It may be a "micarta" brand of something, but it is not what we refer to as micarta, which is a phenolic base textile composite.

Real micarta uses a phenolic resin. That phenolic resin is amber and it turns brown. That color orange is not possible with real micarta any more than you're ever going to find a bright blue asphalt. It's just not in the chemistry. That resin is probably epoxy, or perhaps even a styrene polyester. I do not like the way these materials feel in my hand and I prefer not to use them. We use phenolic base micarta whenever we can. I like this material and it is what I use on my knives.

While a bright and colorful handle color looks kind of cool, I generally do not make functional choices based on aesthetic consideration.

Nathan, how limited will the K20 be? Will I need fast fingers to claim a spot or will the preorder be open for a little while?

The pre-order will be limited to 100 but I don't think we will sell that many. I intend to leave it open for one week.
