Nathan, will a taco sheath be available for the upcoming EDC 1.2?

Not from me. I have found them to be too persnickety and unreliable for me. The pancakes work well reliably.

Tacos, pancakes. Now I'm hungry.

Harrumph.

Copy that.

Single data point here, I know, but the taco that came with my DEK 1 is flawless, and for something like an EDC 1.2 that some of us are likely to carry IWB, the taco's smaller footprint has advantages.

Is Eric at Mashed Cat still doing sheaths for you guys? I really like the tacos I got for the EDC1 and UF2.

Yes

Will FK3’s be offered again in the future?

Sorry if this has been asked and answered.

 

[MarbReds]

After today's sale I anticipate EDCs will go as fast if not faster. Any chance of a preorder on those?

You mentioned no more Magnacut FK3s, but will there potentially be anymore FK3s in D3V in upcoming Friday sales?

Probably at some point. I don't know for sure.

Today Nathan said they had more remaining FK3s than expected -- about forty -- and they weren't offering all of them today, so I'd expect there'll another shot.

Nathan, please sell me a skinner with Osage so I may cut up my son’s fruit salad with something respectable.

 

[Nathan the Machinist]

There's probably about 20 more

Good lord

... let me see what I can do...

Was the sell yesterday brisk and leisurely?

Was the sell yesterday brisk and leisurely?

Absolutely! Close to a minute

No.

It was 15-20 seconds.

I honestly thought it would be a few minutes or even longer.

Hey Nathan, would it be fine to do some prying with the Dek1? Say like opening paint cans or pulling staples?
My particular knife is in MC not 3V.

While the spine behind the tip is quite thick, the tip itself isn't as robust.
Was there a particular reason you decided not to reinforce the tip itself?

 

[ferider]

#NotNathan, C., but the correct BF answer is that you need to buy another knife for this.

 

[SharpBits]

A cheap $7 pry bar is always the answer for pry jobs.

I always pry/cut open crates with an old Shiv
