Any idea on the pricing of the edc on the 27th? I’ve got a budget and I would need to have a proxy because of work and I don’t want to waste anyone’s time

They will be $290 plus $15 shipping, which will total $305.

Hi Nathan, for an outlaw chopper, considering only performance, would you prefer a polished bevel or stone wash?

Hi Nathan, can I use a shotgun for the cut, or nah?

Outlaws don’t ask!

Nathan the Machinist ,

Serious question here: after the training, Tarheel Cut, and Outlaw Cut…will you give a 5 minute (drunk or sober) tutorial on sharpening my Racing Chopper ? Not only do I suck at sharpening in general but 4VE is new to me.

….and, can the gnome use a shotgun ?

In practice it makes no difference

Hopefully the tutorial is drunk.... or I failed at my job lol

I hope it involves some of Tantos River stones or something really odd.

Will taco kydex be available for the EDCs or just pancake style?

Just pancakes. We have found taco to be less consistent than we need. It's a good style but we're unable to offer it.

You ever think about doing a unique, special one-off knife that could be auctioned off, perhaps with the proceeds going to a charity chosen by the winner? Maybe some collaboration with another maker or a pairing of two different models that compliment each other, say an EDC and something larger or a FK and a chopper or fighter?

ETA: Not that you need it, but it would probably provide even better exposure of the brand than you have now.

SSSHHHH!

We don’t want that around here. Can you image 100,000 more CPK lunatics registering here to buy their knives!

Nope. Never thought about that.

LOL, it doesn't sound like it will be happening anytime soon, hahaha

Dude I am so crazy overwhelmed with stuff that I need to do, I try not to add projects that aren't necessary.

Unless it's just some completely random YouTube guy, or maybe Timmy needs a table knife or something important like that.

I think I might be literally retarded

Nathan the Machinist I am wondering between the Dek1 and new edc, which has the stouter tip? Or are they about the same?
