This must be where the DEKs hang out, eh?

It's easily become my most used CPK as of late.

I agree, it looks like it should be a regular offering, Or even a thinner one......



But they did get Lot's of money..... QUICKLY.

Well that happened quickly. Well done, sir!

You don’t get it. I have 3 kids and the only way my wife lets me buy myself a knife or gun is if I buy the kids one also.

So any items I buy it costs me 4x that price!

So for every knife I get, I buy 3 more (can be slightly different, color etc.).

Every gun I get, 3 more similar.

Please nobody tell her that this isn’t really punishment for me

I’m loving the acid washed finish. Does anyone have any pics of a well used one with the acid wash? I’d like to see how it wears. Thanks

Not buying that. Trickery I say, trickery. The Busse Hogs used to do that all the time to the little piglets then swoop in on the trough.

My pre-order came in and the wait was WELL worth it. Two fantastic knives and I did not expect to like the DEK2 as much as I do, what a cool feeling and cool looking knife, it begged for a swedge and penetrator tip, the acid wash was a last minute change that I’m glad I went with. The DEK3 in MC is just unreal, I didn’t believe there was even a knife in the packaging, totally not the norm for a Carothers knife to be this light. The top swedge isn’t sharpened, just a beautiful hollow satin finish with cocobolo scales for options on this one.

Both of these are getting some Pirtle Made cpirtle leather and will be fun to carry. I’ll have to get pics with my older DEK1 in Osage and satin finish, AEBL on that knife so I have a little bit of everything in the DEK lineup. These knives came with the scales reversed but after some looking at them, I think the Osage goes with the DEK2 the best!

Excellent work and thank you so much Nathan the Machinist Jo the Machinist CPK Mark , and also Lorien !

I think the Osage goes with the DEK2 the best!

The acid wash and the Osage is a nice contrast
