The "Ask Nathan a Question" Thread

[Gusbuster]

I’ll be in the Philippines during Blade Show. Maybe next year.
BTW do the EDC3 also have the S grind, or was that only on the EDC2?

Nathan, did you know your knives are significantly thinner bte than some other large knives?

Yes, I knew that. Thank you for noticing.

Performance is literally our middle name

Do you have any plans to up your production? Or is it already underway?

They're also lightly hand ground after machining to give it a shallow S grind that is slightly hollow in the center and convex at the shoulders.

Never mind I found the answer in the CPK Encyclopedia. I should have checked there first. Thanks AR-Trvlr

This Shiro mostly. Although I misplace this knife a lot and fall back on this old Sebenza that I've been carrying for years.

What do you look for in a folder?

What aspects do you appreciate the most?

 

[Casinostocks]

Nathan, about how many SS-SDFKs are going to be offered in tomorrow's sale? Also, roughly how many more to be offered into the wild before they are all (the SS iteration) done?

Further, grats on getting your own WTS in the Main Area. I am just asking this to reconfirm that it is strictly for your CPK knives and NOT the accessories such their scales / their sheaths, correct?

TIA.

Do you plan on uploading any videos of the K20 in use on the tube?

20 SDFK, Basic and Signature.

20 SDFK, Basic and Signature.

I believe he was asking more about the mix of basic/sig? Wondering myself. It may be something like 5 sig and 15 basic, 10 and 10, or maybe there are 20+ of each so everyone in the top 20 gets their pick.

Not Nathan but thinking first come first serve. If the first 20 want SSSDFKs, then 20 SSDFKs. If 5 want SDFKs and 15 want SSDFKs, then that number. Will be interesting to hear from the Mad Machinest.

There were only maybe 100 signature versions made (supposedly) and I feel like we are bumped up next to that number pretty close at this point for what has been sold thus far. I'd be very surprised (pleasantly) if there are enough for all 20 winners to select a Signature if so desired.

I think there's 20 left?

I figure it will be a mix but it will be first come first serve and I think we've got enough to cover any contingency but I'm not positive.

Oh crap. We have a sale tomorrow. I'm going to be driving down the road towing heavy. I should probably get something spring loaded tonight and try and post it from my phone while driving?

Oooffft

I bet Jo could press a button on your phone while you tow heavy?

 

[Jason M D.]

Will it be in the new CPK Sale forum or in the usual Knife Makers forum?

If you need, I can do your sale for you and only charge you one of each knife

Everything going okay on the trip?

Don’t post and drive. It’s not safe. You are too important. The K20 depends on your survival.
