Hmmm. Perspective and angle are sometimes two different things. NTM, not only are y’all master knife smiths but you’re also very clever illusionists and marketers. We, as your fans and collectors, benefit from that. I’m I LOVE IT and appreciate the constant suspense. I’ll take one of each, btw.

Hi Nate, is there a production overview for next year that you can share with us?

 

[SwarthyGnome]

Good morning Nathan!
May I have a special Black Friday deal on a CPK integral dagger? Pretty please thank you~

Nathan, as a knifemaker, what's the bigger compliment to you:

1. Someone loving/valuing your knife so much, they don't use it and just look at it in a display case
2. Someone loving/valuing your knife so much, they trust it to do anything and they beat the tar out of it
?

Disclaimer: "yes", "two weeks", or any other form of smartassery is not a valid response

3. Someone loving/valuing your knife so much, they do both, vigorously.

It's why I'm his favorite.

Makes one wonder if it's possible for someone to get a hickey on their ass, from another person hundreds of miles away?

 

[Blues]

Ouch. That's gonna leave a mark.

 

[DocJekl]

Ouch. That's gonna leave a mark.

Or a hickey...

Is the casual, all weekend BFK sale happening on Black Friday weekend?

Nathan the Machinist will the pocket knife hanging rope cut be part of next year's events? Lol

#NotNathan, but I’ve heard rumors already that it’s gonna be a Neck Knife that’s required usage on one of the Hanging Rope Cuts next year, non dominant hand of course

You probably misunderstood Nate's thoughts on hanging ropes vis-a-vis neck knives

And only after consuming a few bites of Nathan’s and Mark’s hot peppers. Ask Nick if that might add to the challenge Mike

Nathan,

If you were to revisit the Skinner, what changes would you make or is it perfect as is?
