I'm sure we'll have some on Fridays. But obviously numbers will be limited.

You’re saying I don’t need to pull over to the side of the road and flip my hazards on at 5?

Been there, done that (more than once ). Even scoped out different spots for better signal

 

[Nathan the Machinist]

I know it is a ways out, but would the friday sales include the d2 basic option in the future, or will this be a pre-order specail release?

These pre-orders, I'll buy enough material to make sure the pre-order itself is covered and any extras are available on Friday sales.

I'm also going to make shelf stock on the tweaked 3V

So there will be some D2 available unless I manage to screw something up bad enough

Will there be signatures in the Friday sales or preorder only?

Thanks

No

didnt know that was the only allowed use

no worries, not like the other materials wont work as well. i just really like TT.

ECAM would be a nice upgrade on the basic.

Thank you Nathan. Now I am just debating what I really want to pre-order, as I want one of everything. Its only money i guess

Nate’s mentioned before that TT can/will absorb blood. Not ideal for this usage.

I understand. I have other intended uses and plan to buy more than one. Alas, no biggie, since other scales will also work for my intended uses.

You are correct, of course. However, I prefer to avoid TT on this particular pattern simply because it is intended to be a skinner. Even though it will probably get used for a lot of other stuff, TT is incorrect for the design.

It is a mental illness

You should be careful (on the road). We will have it open for at least the weekend. And in reality if your order comes up and we have the type of knife you ordered and the type of scales you ordered available you will get your knife before someone who ordered something with many variations. We try to go in order of posts, but the reality is obviously the Satins are going to take longer and sometimes certain scales materials are ready before others.

Sorry, I am a menace with talk to text.

Thanks Jo! I am not at all troubled by the wait.

as is my desire for OD terotuff. but all good, please keep making excellent knives.

No

Ouch! Not all of us will be skinning bloody critters. I find great utility in this basic blade shape for many other uses. Please reconsider offering TeroTuf for those of us in this category.

Thanks!

Why did you indicate that D2 is the best steel for the skinner pattern rather than D3V or Magnacut?

 

[vxd]

Is "no liner" an option on wood and ecam scales with signature skinner?

I think he’s mentioned before that his D2 takes a nice micro ‘toothy’ edge that works exceptionally well for skinning.
