Damnit there goes my window for a career change lol


How's the back feeling today?

Drugs and alcohol!

[bellyfulls]

Class...that's got me. Hats off to you Sir

K18 or K20?

Why?

No drugs just alcohol to stop the brain from thinking for me today too , house is too quiet without my dog friend

Be well sir ,I hope you get better soon!

 

[yoko]

K18 or K20?

Why?

I asked the same to Dan Keffeler

He said the K18 was made for knife or death... the K20 was designed for wakizashi things


I thought that was awesome

 

[Nathan the Machinist]

The K18 would win pretty much any cutting competition

The K20 will crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.

The K20 will kill you

100

2 completely different designs ,completely different feels in hand

And I'm awestruck Nathan and crew could execute them as perfect as they did!!!!

In the hands of Conan, thinking the K18 could do all that too!

Don’t forget the gnashing of teeth!

Or Bennie. Actually, Bennie is probably the more skilled cutter.

Nathan, I caved and bought another K20. I looked at the pricing and options. I didn’t see any pricing for a lengthwise satin finish. How much does that cost?

 

[Caba]

The DEK1 is not currently slated for production, we recently completed a run and we will not revisit that pattern anytime soon. The field knives are in production now. Those will start shipping to their pre-order within a few months. We're considering doing another run of SDFK and the upcoming steel order which would have us producing those sometime next year.

A vote for the SDFK.

They all get a lengthwise satin finish before tumbling.

“Get both”



*** I originally had 2 K18s on the preorder, but ended up letting one go to fund another deal that was too good to pass up. After receiving the K18, I realized it’s a little too scary to dual wield.

2 x K20s OTOH = AWESOME!

Hi Nathan, have you tested Z-tuff or CD#1?
If yes, what are you thoughts and would you consider using those steels or any other tougher steels in the future?
