Can I change mine to this mysterious Magenta cut?Delta 3V, 61-62 HRC, .135" thick at ricasso (or optimized Magana cut at 62.5, please specify in your order)
He states it right below the options area in the "order process" section.Q for fellow #notnathans who pay closer attention:
Are there going to be more of the EDC1.2 pattern to be offered in the upcoming Fridays’ Sales beyond today’s or did Nathan just bundle everything up in this pre-order to be able to move on with CPK’s other projects? If Nathan has already answered this, I must have missed it!

*shrug* Idunno. I can have anything I want, I always go for Delta 3V
Yeah, I managed to snag an FK3 just like that, with the help of a proxy.

...Q: Will the Magnacut be good and strong enough with a hollow grind and swedge...
Unless I misunderstood Nathan's wording, with the swedge option only the swedge is hollow ground, not the overall grind. Someone check me on this, but if correct it may help with your decision....Have Mark hand grind a hollow ground swedge to my EDC (not machined, every one is a little different) $125...
Q: Will the Magnacut be good and strong enough with a hollow grind and swedge, or is it best to leave it flat grind stonewashed? I tend to think that SW is more corrosion resistant if I had picked D3V, but Magnacut wont typical let rust into the little grooves.
#notnathan I’m biased because I can never get in before top 50 even when trying but this would be a great equitable idea . Just seems like a hassle to administer and execute for Nathan and JoNathan, why do you prefer Friday sales to be first come first serve versus a random number generator for anyone that posts in the first minute or two?
Not Nathan, but I've had this conversation with him in the past, and also earlier today, with both he and Jo.Nathan, why do you prefer Friday sales to be first come first serve versus a random number generator for anyone that posts in the first minute or two?
Right - the added options are Satin not hollow ground. Nvm.I thought only the swedge was hollow ground , didn't see an option for the blade to be hollow ground

Basically, he likes to keep things as simple and direct as possible...in order to streamline their operation and reduce the number of steps and potential hiccups encountered.
I have volunteered my services to run an RNG app on their behalf that I have found to be very good, so as to lighten their load operationally. (Speaking as an impartial and uninterested party to the sales.) It's up to Nate and Jo if they want to go down that road, but the matter is at least under consideration. Whatever conclusion they arrive at is fine with me, as I have no intention of overstepping.
And that's all I have on that score.
