Yup. That's exactly what I was gonna say...Statistics

When you look at the introduction section you can see that Cpk = the distance between the mean and the closest target bound, divided by 3*SD. So when Cpk = 1.67, that means the distance between the mean and the closest target bound = 1.67*3*SD = 5*SD, aka 5 sigma.
Good morning everyone!Our next sale will be Friday July 19th
20 Signature 5" Field Knives in Magnacut. HRC 62.5 (SD .16, CPK 1.67, this batch looks really good, no sign of trouble)
If you like Magnacut or have been wanting to try it out, this is going to be a good batch for you.
Also:
I have processed some of that cool old vintage Micarta brand International Paper phenolic into some sheets for this and we're going to be running some scales. Rather than get our regular natural micarta (which is Accurate Acculam) try this stuff. IP had just bought the brand from Westinghouse and this was made in batches in a press rather than pultruded. Like Westinghouse, it doesn't get fuzzy when I machine it and it sends the load meter up into a range I'd associate with aluminum. This is really good stuff, they don't make this anymore, and I bought tons of it so I can offer it to you at a really good price.
Out in the main sale area here: https://www.bladeforums.com/forums/for-sale-fixed-blades.754/
Sale is at 3:00 eastern time.

In the preorder which was 3V only it was a $115 option on a $305 knife. The Magnacut BFKs have been $350 so you can probably get a general idea of what to expect from those data points until Nathan gives you a definitive answer.Good morning everyone!
