The "Ask Nathan a Question" Thread

Is there a chance we ever see ghost G10 scales again? Were they discontinued due to material availability or was it some other reason?

 

[Jo the Machinist]

I everyday carry a Sig 365 9 mm

I was struggling to get a hole in a wall to run some wire the other day and I actually used my concealed carry pistol to finish poking a hole through a problem spot

It will do it

Not recommended though

Seriously?

Well. I did try drilling first. It wasn't working. It was a tricky spot.

Uh huh, sure you did.

Will there be a run of the Medium Choppers in the Friday sales following the Light Chopper run?

I absolutely love the LC I got by the way - incredible, awesome blade!

This principle is codified into law in many places.

That’s the outcome bias fallacy dressed up as legal precedent but safety is judged by risk not outcome. Modern legal frameworks generally punish risky behaviour rather then declare it safe just because someone got lucky.

But I’m sure you were joking….

What is the most popular material used for competition chopper scales? Or maybe a better question would be is what is the best material used for a competition chopper handle? Is grippier or smoother better?

CPK-CompChoppers only came with TeroTuf scales used for handle material.

Ben and Sue both run TT with rubber inlay. Jo runs solid ebonite.

Grippy with good shock absorption

Hand retention comes primarily from geometry

Second from material

Texture is last. They're actually pretty smooth.

These knives have more world and national titles on them then anything in the industry, by a lot.

Nathan, would you ever offer ebonite in the LC/MC offerings again?

Looks like the Wikipedia entry for Ebonite needs an update under Applications section. Need to add the award winning Chopper. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ebonite
