The "Ask Nathan a Question" Thread

I think it would throw off the balance and not really add any benefit

( don't listen to me I'm always wrong!)

Maybe hollow them out for weight relief? But yeah I agree it would be mostly pointless .. but also fun.

Listen to this man! I got a DEK1 and a DEK2 in the preorder because I wanted swedges, but I held off on the DEK3 because I only wanted the vanilla version. Fast forward to today…I have no DEK3 and probably never will.

But did I mention my 1&2?!!! They’re pretty awesome!!!

Generally speaking, the pre-orders are a bad idea for most people when you can just get it on a Friday sale and not have to wait.

However, the DEK3 had an enormous reject rate and, unfortunately, there were pretty much no extras available.

Do you ever see CPK offering titanium (maybe bronze) scales? I imagine it would be pretty intensive given all the contouring and milling etc, but it would also be pretty cool. Especially on something like the EDC or even the K20 ... CPK = Cyber Punk Knives???

Metal does not have any good characteristics making it a remotely suitable material for the scales. You will never see me do that.

Do you keep some inventory not associated with presale and Friday sales in the hopes to build inventory for your website? Or are you building to drop and pre orders, like JIT finished inventory system.

Nathan, I added the Sword of Omens from Thundercats and Voltron's Blazing Sword to the whiteboard when I was there last year. When will these be going into production?

And not the Buster Sword? What's wrong with you?

I apologize. I forgot: the K18 is the buster sword.
