I haven't done a hollow grind a loooong time


One of the interesting things about D2 is, with the right light and the right finish you can actually see the carbide. This is not the case with the CPM versions of D2. Which is why they don't work as well for a skinning knife. This is where the famous micro serrated toothy edge of D2, that will continue to cut things like meat and skin even after being blunted, comes from. With the best edge stability for that particular alloy in the industry, these were fantastic skinning knives.

Nathan will you be doing a year-end pre order for D2 skinners this year?

Sorry, no.

So January 2023?

 

[ElCaptain]

Hi Nathan, would you tell us about the LC rerelease? How will it differ from the original?

 

[Mark4444]

Hey Nathan, I was using my sdfk as a hammer again, and I thought it would nice to have bolt on steel pommel, like in the k18, but steel and could take hammer blows, or give hammer blows, would you ever consider that?

Not related but find this funny.... I'm sorry

Serious question..... would you ever be interested in making a spot weld chisel out of D3V?



All the body guys said they would like the bevel higher up on the sides if possible (to the bottom of the blue tape)

I posted a pry bar knife in the thread a little after you posted this

“What knife would you like to see next from CPK?”​

They appear to be clones, but not counterfeits that could be confused with the real McCoy.

 

[Blues]

Now you know you've hit the big time. Congratulations.

Wait...

 

[Richard338]

Wait...

Yeah it's kind of odd. They call it CPK EDC2, and copied the profile, but it doesn't say carothers and doesn't claim to be 3V steel.

 

[madcap_magician]

Ugh

But now you're in the big leagues, boss!

China Performance Knives! ....Chinese fakes are only a big deal if you yourself make your product in China, as then there's no difference to the consumer. I think you'll be fine with this one.

 

[Casinostocks]

Why did you choose initials which could easily be ripped off by China Panda Knives?
