If your name is notWell, according to my terrible calculations, if a DEK in hand is worth two in the bush, then I should have about 80 DEK’s. Man that’s a lot of DEK’s!
And so it begins.View attachment 2305199
Damn… One in the hand… as good as I expected… terotuff feels great. This thing’s amazing
That looks good. My next CPK will have terotuff. I wanna try it out.View attachment 2305199

Congrats.I finally got a DEK1 with my initials on it !!! This fine Magnacut DEK1 with swedge, blue hex titanium hardware, and burlap scales arrived on my porch 2 days ago. Much appreciation toCap’n Smudge for the proxy, and before that,
gunslinger387 for the attempt that was extremely close.

Inmo, the burlap scales on this one are exceptionally cool. They’re very streaky and almost resemble ECAM on the smooth surfaces. Thanks for sending such a unique setJo the Machinist .View attachment 2313223View attachment 2313224Last, but certainly not least, thank you NtM, Lorien, and team for the excellent design and execution. I’m gonna beat the pretty right off of this one !

Thank you ! The DEK 1 is definitely the one that meets most of my needs, most of the time. And CPK Magnacut….ohhhh yeah !Congrats.
I really enjoy the MC DEK1. It's a great variation.
Actually pard, I’ve been workin so much that I haven’t spent much quality time with my new girl. For the next 3 days, I’ll be turning down OT and catching up on “knife love”, while the wifey is out of town. Leather, kydex, and beer will surely be involved….I would assume there were 2 days of happy dancing before you got around to posting these pics.
Great score.

CORRECTION:gunslinger387 scored the knife for me and
Cap’n Smudge let me know after the August 11th Friday sale madness cleared. Again, thank you both !
Oooh yummy !!! All DEKs are superb but that DEK3 is absolutely gorgeous ! I don’t usually beg outside of the bs&t but I’m hittin’ you up, Mr. That knife is cream o’ the crop , imho .I tried to resist getting in on this thread, but I just couldn't do it.
From top to bottom:
DEK1 - Delta 3V, unbuffed black canvas
DEK1 - AEBL, buffed double black canvas
DEK1 - MagnaCut, unbuffed double black canvas
DEK2 - Delta 3V, unbuffed double black canvas
DEK2 - Delta 3V, swedge, buffed burlap
DEK3 - MagnaCut, double edged tip & sharpened swedge, ECAM
There's a certain satisfying symmetry in having 3x1s, 2x2s, and 1x3.
