The "Ask Nathan a Question" Thread

[Nathan the Machinist]

Maybe Nathan/Mark can grind you a BF5/FK3 in MC down to length ?

No

 

[Nathan the Machinist]

Any chance of adding the ghetto grind option to the next sale? Would love a Basic in MC with ghetto grind to go with my D3V and CW.

Also no?

 

[Nathan the Machinist]

There are enough out there you should just post a WTB or WTT…I bet someone would trade you a FK2 for a 3 if you scored one.

Yes! <--- this!

 

[jlauffer]

Also no?

Ahhh, so possibly not no. Schrodinger's ghetto grind!

Anything is possible if you bring enough beer or crack.

Have you ever heard from a customer about having issues when shipping a knife to Canada?

I'm just outside Vancouver myself, and have directly received two knives from CPK without issue. And in fact, I've never had a single problem in receiving any fixed blade I've ordered from down south.

Thank you, just wanted some input from others to see what the likelihood of having an issue would be.

I'll take this opportunity to reiterate. Once a package leaves our shop, it is out of our control. International shipments have a much higher rate of loss and theft, and we cannot assume risk for something beyond our control. Please be aware that if a shipment leaving our shop gets lost or stolen en route overseas, you will receive our sympathy but not a replacement or refund. If this assumption of risk seems unreasonable to you, we might not be the right fit for you.

Understood, and thanks for the response. I’m just doing my own risk analysis to make the decision on whether or not to take the chance.

Will you be releasing any FK3 in D3V for sale in the near future?

Not in the near near future. But yes, by the end of next month probably.

This has probably been addressed and I missed it but will scales for the new edc fit edc1? Would still like to get some TT scales for mine.

They will fit but they are a different shape and your sheath won't work quite right

Any chance we can get a peek Nathan?

It's sitting in some Harris teeter parking lot in Cornelius, reconditioning their dry parking lot with some fresh petroleum

Jo came and got me

I've been working on the 450 for the last few hours. I've got it "running" again but it has a massive fuel leak from the mechanical fuel pump, leaking about a quarter a gallon fuel per minute. That ain't gunna to cut it.

I might go back down to Cornelius tonight and see if the truck runs now. It's a Ford. You can't expect it to be logical.

 

[Blues]

Take the night off, Nate. No one's gonna (be able to) steal it.


Unless you get lucky.

It's never something easy

Hope you can solve it quick...or find cheap fuel and some matches to make an insurance claim
