The "Ask Nathan a Question" Thread

[Nathan the Machinist]

Hey Nathan, would you go for a 15° or 20° edge on your Cruwear BFK? I use a Sharpmaker and also I won't be going bonkers with the BFK. Thank you!

They come 20 but 15 would work pretty well if you can take care of it

Will there be a pre-order for these much anticipated choppers? I still have remnants of my CPK fund.

I haven't decided yet

Thank you and have an awesome day!

I would also like to see a pre-order for the EDC, especially since they are so small you need to buy at least 3-4 to equal the amount of super steel in a CPK chopper.

I too would prefer a pre-order for choppers and EDC, especially for the EDC batch as I would like to give some as presents to friends.

Oh Great and Evil Genius ( Nathan the Machinist ) ,

Call me stupid but I just don’t know. How was the “Bad Idea” FK2 made thinner than the standard UFK? Was the blade stock machined thinner or hand ground thinner. If it was hand ground, did you commit the crime or did Mark? Thanks, Big Nate Dawg !

I actually just got my hands on one of these. It's significantly thinner!
Hoping to post pics this weekend

Right on bud ! I’ve let go of 3 standard FK2s in order to acquire other CPKs. They’ll have to pry the “bad idea” from my cold dead hands, though. It’s that awesome and it came from a very special home.

Sad part is, I’ve beat the crap out of some of the more rare ones and am reluctant to scuff the H&M’s FK2. I really need rip the bandage off and rub some dirt on that one.

Looking forward to the pics.

Nice.

You can tell the bad idea as the primary is very close to the logo. Which also answers your question ... (it's machined thinner, before the stone-wash). #NotNathanObviously

carnifex knifeworks - here is yours overlooking the Windriver Just to share, thought you'd enjoy.

The primary grinds were ground thinner
