Will the chopper be pre-order, or for Friday sales like the EDC?

I'm not sure yet.

 

[fielder]

Probably

That's great, thank you. Can't wait.

 

[Cwilliams563]

I apologize if I’ve missed it.

Will there be an option to have the new EDC 1.2 swedged?

What was your first knife you held and said, “I want to make knives”

And what was your first knife that you held and said, “I can make this better”.

Has delta 3v ever been tested against rebar? I'm sure itll do some damage to the blade, but that would be an exceptionally fun, albeit expensive, experiment. Practical too for some in military or Search and Rescue.

To the best of my knowledge, no?

I think I have some rebar. Let me check...

Is your rebar rusty?

Lead rebar?

 

[EMCEE]

How thick is your rebar ?

Wait ! What ? ……too much ?

 

[clinton1]

I'm throwin' one in here. Not sure which post (probably EMCEE ) but we're overdue....

Will the newer 10” chopper be similar to the light, medium, or hdmc’s, or is it its own thing? Forgive me if this has been brought up before. I have had to take a professional lurker roll.

"Also:
I have processed some of that cool old vintage Micarta brand International Paper phenolic into some sheets for this and we're going to be running some scales. Rather than get our regular natural micarta (which is Accurate Acculam) try this stuff. IP had just bought the brand from Westinghouse and this was made in batches in a press rather than pultruded. Like Westinghouse, it doesn't get fuzzy when I machine it and it sends the load meter up into a range I'd associate with aluminum. This is really good stuff, they don't make this anymore, and I bought tons of it so I can offer it to you at a really good price."

Hey Nathan does this mean that you will be making scales for EDC's, DEK's etc. out of this material?

Hey Nathan, does the BKF in MC have the same warranty as the Δ3v? Is there anything you'd do with the 3v that you wouldnt with mc version?

Thanks!

The Basic 5 uses the same exact scales that were on the FK2, minus the lanyard hole, correct?

 

[Big DJ]

Hey Nathan, can we get a peek at the new EDC's ?

No. But they are interchangeable.
