I just looked and there is not even one CPK for sale on the Big Auction Site as everything listed sold out (far as I can tell).

You’re right, when I search for CPK, I only get Cabbage Patch Dolls. CPK side business ?

Hey you want to buy an old Ford diesel truck?

$6,000! (plus about twice that every year keeping it on the road)

Yes! Can I include a wishlist with the payment:

Matty no have any CPKs with Bad MoFo insignia and has no CPK-I.D. I am sure that as a couple of semi-sound minded businessmen we can come to some sorta agreement. Heck, I don't even need to pick that pile up! I will just gift it back to you but you'll be responsible for the upkeep (heck, I'm not that insane!) or just let the rats nest in it, I wouldn't care!

Thunk on my fluid offer :)

P.S. #neverbowies

I've never sold a used truck before, but have you thought about throwing in a free K20 in the passenger seat when you post up the picture?

I bet you'd sell the truck pretty quickly. :D

Reminds me of a car dealer promo in the 80s, "Buy one car, get 1 for free!!!". They were offering a free Yugo with any vehicle purchase. People were asking, "Can I get a free 10-speed bicycle instead?" 🤣🤣🤣

I the 80's I bought a brand new Mazda GLC from a "push, pull or drag sale" for $1000 off, so I traded in a $500 street legal 175cc Suzuki dirt-bike in great shape. Turns out I could have brought in a bicycle and I would have got the same $1000 off`! I was so pissed off I tell you, but I didn't find out until it was too late. At least It got the same 55mpg at 55mph as the dirt bike, and I stayed warm and dry in college when going home to visit. But getting to and from campus without the motorcycle was too difficult.

Is there any production overview for 2024 you can share with us?

Some of the Shivs are in heat treat now, the balance are wrapping up machining now.

Basic five in Delta 3V and in magna cut are decked and are going on a mill next week.

EDC 1.2 are starting decking now and will be on a mill by the end of January. Our manufacturing process is able to run parallel streams now.

10-inch chopper will deck next and will go onto a mill probably in April

I intend to make a semi integral dagger at some point in 2024 and also the first folders. With any luck one or both of these may be available for sale at the CPK outlaw cut next year.

Our next steel order will be for a run of competition choppers, the kukri, and the next pre-order of K20s. I want to get the first K20 pre-order mostly wrapped up before starting another one. Look for the next K20 pre-order to open in January or February.

Will you be doing pre orders for the basic 5s and edc 1.2s or are those to fulfill pre orders from earlier this year ?

Will the 10” choppers be a pre-order?

Exciting stuff for 2024 in any case 👍
 
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I didn't see a Magnacut option for the 2023 Basic 5 pre-order thread. Is it possible to add one to my pre-order or will the Magnacut Basic 5 be a Fun Friday sale item?

Thank you and have a happy new year!
