The "Ask Nathan a Question" Thread

Is there any way to order some extra scales for the light chopper? Preferably antique micarta?
 
Is the HD medium chopper the same as the Heavy chopper? Is there a second pre order thread coming? I am confused!?
 
It's probably Nathan's "break" so I will try and answer. The HC Heavy Chopper was only made as a prototype, about 10 of them. He recently decided to produce a Heavy Duty Medium Chopper (HDMC) in place of the previously planned HC. There's thread explaining the differences here somewhere. The HDMC can be ordered with or separate from the MC, in the same pre-order. Hope this helps.

I've edited in a link to the thread that explains the differences:

Hey Nathan,

I cannot recall what you have said in the past, though I am certain I have seen it at some point. At what temperature will the heat treat on the D3V begin to be affected? How hot can I get one of these knives and for how long? Thanks boss!

I was wondering if for the upcoming preorder for the MC and HDMC today ... is it possible to order and extra set of scales at the time of my preorder?

I am really wanting to try to burlap micarta but have never used any ... so I am hoping I can place an order for a set of those to have to try along with my knife preorder?

Thanks - JJ
Yes :)

Keep it under 400F and it will be fine
