The "Ask Nathan a Question" Thread

Sooooooooo Nathan the Machinist Nathan the Machinist ......

Does Jo and the the CPK team get the joy of hanging out with us midwest miscreants or are you and maybe Mark tagging along for Meadville?

P.S. ...... I'm sure Jo will tell you how much fun she had if you can't make it (don't drive home that night) hahahaha

^^^ just FYI, there was a poll last year for the next pre-orders, and if I remember right, the Shiv came out top, followed by the EDC.

On a side-note, I am amazed at CPK’s capacity ... the two swords, the Dek 1-3, now the Shiv, all in little more than a year or so (?). And the CW BFK as a side run (in addition to others I understand). Amazing.

That wonderful edge cut antique Micarta comes from some machined bearing stock that is almost certainly Westinghouse although I do not have material certs for it.

I bought all of it they had but it's half gone now.


I acquired a few tons of some old International Paper Micarta. International Paper bought the brand, the machinery, and the manufacturing process when Westinghouse sold out. It's maybe not exactly the same thing but it's pretty close. It is certainly good material. I like it. And it's much more affordable than genuine Westinghouse. We will be offering that on knives in some future runs.


Also, I've decided I'm going to do a Basic Five pre-order. I see all the flippers out there.

I need to get the last of these DEK pre-orders out and then we're going to do the basic five & FK3. Probably pretty soon.

Is the next batch of Basic 5s going to be 3V or Magnacut? Still looking at fall for those?
 
Nathan, We know that your D3V steel has pretty good corrosion (or rust) resistance; but how does your Cruwear in the Basic 5 compare in that regard?

EDIT - corrected Nate to Nathan?
