I'm glad that you are impressed by it. I honestly am too.

We won both Nationals and Worlds cutting championships this year. Men's and women's. Won the points too. We are literally the best in the world at what we do and I don't do a very good job of broadcasting that information. It isn't common knowledge and it really should be.

The diamond shmoo that I make is a significant component to these wins. We have the sharpest knives in the competitions, and that helps a lot.

Every knife we ship from here is sharpened on the same equipment and stropped on the same compound.

Re: FK3 (3V Optimized Delta)

Along with your new cursive signature will you personally schmooz the edges on these blades?

Yes

Hey Nathan, I believe you’ve mentioned there’s a toughness-for-hardness trade, between Delta 3V and the tweaked version. Makes sense. I’m curious, though — is it theoretical, or have you seen that effect? Any sense of how significant, or marginal, that trade is?
 
Just got my Basic Field Knife (Cruwear) to go with my Signature Field Knife (Tweaked D3V). Noticed the blades look the same length. Is the BFK not longer than the Signature these days ? Not complaining, I like them both the way they are, just curious.

PS the Crusty Vintage Micarta is awesome.

Same knife but the signature is refined. Tang is skeletonized, has a swedge, and a couple other differences. The signature is an upgrade but not a different model. So the length shouldnt be different
