The "Ask Nathan a Question" Thread

[bluemax_1]

Thanks for both your replies. And yes I checked spam, not there. I'm sure everything will be sorted out...now perhaps if the invoice went to someone with an email similar to mine and they feel so obliged and kind beyond words to say, oh I don't know, pay it for me ...

But now that we're stepping back into reality...I needed that visual so thanks for the screenshot, and now I will sit and hold tight...plus gives me more time to count the change outta my kids piggy bank to accumulate this ransom for my blades being held hostage

If your email address has an underscore, might want to contact her. The underscore gets camouflaged/hidden when an email turns it into a hyperlink (which is what happened to me, a long time ago).

Silly boy..."extra" suggests there is some predetermined amount that is considered enough or sufficient.

Hey Nathan and everyone!

What are your thoughts on Scandi ground knives? Would there ever be a benefit for having a Carothers scandi ground knife?
Personally they make me paranoid

I remembered reading a post or two by Nathan in the past mentioning scandi. I looked them up and here is one from Feb 2021 when CPK was in the Kephart's phase:

More resistance penetrating a hard object with less binding. Optimized for wood working and bushcraft.

You will probably never see me do a scandi grind, but this is leaning away from a FFG towards the thin edge and robust primaries you see on bushcraft knives.

I'm trying to address the biggest shortcoming that I see with production Kepharts today, which is their tendency to look like the original without incorporating the design intent of the original. This is a natural consequence of people buying things based upon pictures on the internet without really grokking the geometry.

I could be completely off-base. But I don't think I am. I'm a geometry nerd and I've been mulling this over...

Hey thank you for the response, I really appreciate it! I’m still a novice at navigating this website. I typed “Carothers scandi” in the search bar but nothing came up pertaining to my question. But hey now I know to include info in the “member” search bar. Thanks again!

You can also limit the search to just this forum while you’re in it so searching for a single keyword is easier

Good morning Nathan, what product do you use to bond the scales to the micarta liner of the scales? Thank you.

West systems 105.

Precise mix ratio is critical as is thorough mixing. We mix for 4 minutes.

Tolerates water indefinitely, does not get weak over time or lose bond like consumer grade epoxy. But at the end of the day, if your surf is prep isn't excellent, it doesn't even matter what you use it will come loose.

Sometimes I get the feeling that Nathan takes this stuff seriously...

...pumpkin beer notwithstanding.

His knives show it!

If it ever happened, how would Delta 3V stand up to a fire? Would I be able to pick it up from the rubble and smash a gawdamn sumbitchin cinder block?

Probably not. No.

Depending how hot it got, you would probably need to send it in for rework.
