The "Ask Nathan a Question" Thread

[Another Level Bevel]

Hi Nathan. Really looking forward to receiving my signature Magnacut FK3. I'm positive the kydex sheath it comes with it's going to be awesome, but I typically love a good leather sheath for my fixed blades. Do you have any recommendations of makers who do great CPK custom leather sheaths?

Is the price for a basic 5 in D3V still $305?

No, that was the pre order price.

Latest sale price (D3V) is in this thread I’m linking. No guarantee it’s going to still be the same.

Hey Nathan
Is there a difference in your magnacut development between the Dek1 and the BFK?

Hey Nathan

My process hasn't really changed, but I feel like the steel is a little better than it was when I first started out with it. Better consistency.

At first it was hard to get and I couldn't get an entire heat of it and I was getting different responses from one lot to another. They have their process dialed in really well now and the heat treat response is better than I could have hoped for. We're shipping the best Magnacut we ever have and I think it's probably a pretty good chance that it's literally the best in the industry.

I'm carrying a mass produced folder in MC right now that is not half as good as ours. There's some variation in the industry and we're really good at it. If you're wanting to try Magnacut, you should try ours, there's none better.

I don't really know the answer to this one

I could do a pre-order for the EDC or the 10-inch chopper right now, but I'm getting pretty late delivering the Shivs so I don't think I should start a new pre-order until that one is done.

 

[Caba]

A vote for the Chopper!

 

[dieselbro]

Would love to see a preorder for the Chopper when the timing is right for CPK!

Does CPK want to make children cry?

Cuz not doing an EDC pre-order is how you make children cry.

Man I f*****g love making children cry. Are you kidding me? Hell yeah.

 

[Elgatodeacero]

As my father used to say to me when I was young:

“You want something to cry about? I’ll give you something to cry about.”

 

[Sagandavis]

I’ve scrolled trying to find it but have been off the grid for a bit. Is there pics of the new EDC with handles on? I did find the one of all the blanks. Looks great! Can’t wait.

 

[Murphjd25]

I think that’s the only picture we have seen so far.

 

[Pàdruig]

Man I f*****g love making children cry. Are you kidding me? Hell yeah.

 

[Kulainn]

Please, please do a chopper pre-order once the shivs are all done!

 

[XtianAus]

Man I f*****g love making children cry. Are you kidding me? Hell yeah.

You'll also make us grown adults cry if you don't do an edc pre-order
