At some point, probably.

I gifted a friend my FK2 (yes I am friend of the year lol) and didn't realize the FK2 design was totally retired I miss it - are there any plans to release a similar all arounder camp/bush knife in that 4" - 4.5" range in the (hopefully) not distant future? I also had the BFK prior but found I prefer the smaller/lighter feel of the FK2. Cheers

Sorry, no.

The signature series version of it is a pretty similar weight

你好，我是一位来自亚洲的买家，也是CPK的忠实粉丝。请问SC和LC大概什么时候发货？谢谢。

Hello Nathan, I'm a buyer from Asia and a big fan of CPK. May I ask when the SC and LC will be delivered approximately? thank you

Not Nathan, but expect sometime around the end of the year or later if you’re talking about the Chopper Preorder. You may also see some pop up in Friday sales prior to some of the preorders getting filled.

不是Nathan，但如果你指的是Chopper的预购，预计会在年底或更晚的时候。你可能还会在周五的促销中看到一些预购提前完成的商品。

It's not Nathan, but if you mean the pre-order of Chopper, it is expected to be at the end of the year or later. You may also see some pre-ordered goods in advance in Friday's promotion.

Thank you

Nathan, what other US made steel interests you at the moment? Since you mention in another thread that 3V is now an import, any plans to add a new steel to the mix?

I have a very good relationship with Niagara. I'm going to wait and see how this pans out.

Thanks. Keep us updated, if you can. At least you have a great partner in NSM.

Hey Nathan the Machinist see you at Blade Show ATL, tomorrow!!!

 

[Jabrni]

Nathan the Machinist , your folder comment on the Blade Show thread made wonder, if the CPK folder is a long way out, would you ever pick a folder you like and just make a d3v replacement blade?

 

[XtianAus]

Will you work with AEBL again anytime soon?

 

[fielder]

I hope so too.

 

[pease]

Skinner just saying a skinner in AEBL would be sweet.

 

[pushcut]

Magnacut would be my preferred stainless option for the Skinner. Its relatively high hardness and toughness should make for a strong thin edge (and it sounds like these are ground quite thin) while its carbide structure gives a good toothy edge for meat processing.

D2 would be toothier still (not stainless though).

Nathan, what version of D2 is your preference? D2, psf27, or CPM-D2?

PSF27 has served me well, makes a great hunting/processing knife. Keeps a toothy working edge for meat, and quick to sharpen on a coarse stone.
