The "Ask Nathan a Question" Thread

Please read the pre-order thread carefully

If you place an order in this thread I'm only committing to ship before the end of next year. Also I'm a terrible judge estimating these things. The Shiv pre-order is a full year late.

If you send multiple emails to Jo asking "where's my knife, where's my knife!!!" before the end of next summer I will personally put a booger in the box when we ship it.


Please read and understand the knife and the ordering process before ordering. I will post some disclaimers in a second post after this one. Please do not order anything until you have read those disclaimers and contemplated how they apply to you.

Nathan,

What is the current status of the 2024 Pre-Order for the 3” EDC knives? Where are they in the build process?

Thanks!

I’ll slow this down for you seeing that you are from Mid-Missouri (light hearted ribbing). This is not my first Pre-Order, I understand what is what… Nathan is usually pretty good about updating folks with Pre-Order status stating where the blanks are within the build process. Just out of curiosity I wanted to know how the build was proceeding, not the status on my knife.

Posted Oct 12, 2024, since then he has had 5 to 6 Friday sales with EDC’s. Nathan stated in the Pre-Order that he would distribute a roughly even share between the two sales channels. Quite a few distributed in that method. How are the Pre-Orders proceeding?

I'm going to try to start shipping these by the end of this year, but it may be the end of next year before they're all shipped out. I'll do my best, but if you need a tight deadline guarantee, this sale may not be for you.

Does anybody know what the edge thickness is (where the primary grind meets the secondary) of the Amazon BFK, regular BFK and the FK3? Per the latest sales it seems like Nathan tweeted the regular BFK grind thickness for the forum vs what the original was. Trying to determine how much better at carving the regular BFK is compared to the first release and the fine tunes fk3.

I absolutely love the old tool steels that darken and patina with age. I have tools that were in the family since the 40's. And some that were given to me by a neighbor in the late seventies, that he had purchased in the early 1900s when he worked in the Machine Shop in philadelphia.

The are dark and pretty. Hold a great edge. I would absolutely love a run of A2 knives by Nathan
