Not a bad idea. Here's one of my titanium neck knives............

How do you like the grip Raimund put on that one, Bob? He just recently listed one with the same treatment and I was eying it hard, just didn’t know if I’d like that shape.

CPK knives wouldn’t make it for the Traditional Forum knife so that’s ok, you don’t wanna dip your toes into that shark tank Nathan lol.

I've got more neck knives than I can remember. I started several makers down that road over the years, including Murray Carter, 15 years ago or more.

I've had a few from Fred Perrin for 20+ years and several others dating back to the early to mid 90's.

The one I seem to carry the most these days is this one that Darrel Ralph surprised me with one day in S90V:

A Magnacut CPK neck knife would be sweet!

I actually like the grip. Three fingers and a thumb (jimping) work well. Obviously, not for big jobs.........

And here is the other one.....................

I'd love to see pre-orders continue and with different steel options, otherwise I am well keen for all the medium-smaller stuff CPK bring out in 2022!

 

[duramax]

I can’t wait for the signature SDFK !! But I’d love to see a 7 1/2 - 8” HDFK

[Coach23]

I’d be in for one if I meet the requirements

 

[Elgatodeacero]

Can we just get another run of daggers and call it good?

 

[Murphjd25]

In! Did I miss the pre order? I hope not. I need to go check my post count in this sub forum while I’m at it. BRB.

Prolly ought to start necrobumping threads just to be safe brother, start about 20 or so pages back and hit them all between then and now.

Caruthers makes good knifes I heard. One, please.

I’m IN for any type of sub 4” blade CPK style!

I share this sentiment. The sub 4” range is an underserved niche in the CPK line-up. That is why the EDC is so revered and hard to find in the aftermarket.

A little bird and trout CPK would be great, and as a bonus, it would be perfectly acceptable as a traditional knife over in the Traditional sub-forum. I know that there are plenty of folks hungry for a traditional fixed blade as the forum knife over there.

It certainly feels like a fantasy to me at this point, but it would be pretty great for me if the 2022 knife (if there ever is such a beast) was a collaboration between the two subfora that I spend the most time on.

 

[Nathan the Machinist]

I've made traditional knives before. Some people would consider that Kephart "traditional"

 

[yoko]

I'm in for a slicey full grip fixed blade!

While I still think this is an endeavor better left to someone else, for a multitude of reasons, lets take the idea for a stroll. One major problem I see for you, Nathan, is the price point. In my limited experience with the forum knife, I think it is generally the expectation that it will be $100 or preferably less. the 2020 knife was a little more than that if I recall. and I think it was a problem for some. This year's GEC was $100. Second, would be the numbers, and this will work in conjunction with the first problem in a minute. This year there were supposedly 500 knives made and it apparently wasn't anywhere near enough. I think several hundred of the Vipers were sold the year before, so, it would be a fairly sizable run I would imagine.

So, just on those two alone, Nathan, is there a design and material spec that you could run in that quantity at or around the $100 price point and not loose your ass or mind in the process?
