This must be where the DEKs hang out, eh?

[pease]

I have been carrying my 2 for the last few months everyday since I got it, I pair it with a folder or smaller fixed blade in the pocket. I carried the 1 for a long time before I got the 2 but I don’t think of anything that the 2 couldn’t handle.

Yep . The dek1 is MC and the dek2 is 3v . Is that what causes the difference in script and fineness on engraving ?

Danger Will Robinson! Danger!

Thanks for context on that thread with customer not liking the engraving . I didn’t know and wasn’t insinuating it didn’t look right . Actually like the thinner engraving on the dek2- Loren’s logo looks amazing - and was just curious if there was a switch between runs or models . Both look nice . The fit and finish of these knives blow me away which is why I keep adding them to the stable

I don't think anyone took it as you being negative. It's just a running joke around here.

When did the engraving change ? The engraving on the dek2 is much crisper

I can’t believe they’d do y’all like that

Enamored with the pair . Gonna be a lot of alternating when camping

The bottom is more recent with the newer Lorien logo and different Carothers placement also aebl and d3v

Anyone ever try cutting a bolt or screw with your dek1?

I tried cutting a small screw tonight because I couldn't find my rebar pliers. I don't recommend it.
Will post pics later.

I'd consider possibly(?) trying out CPK Fireman's Breaching Tool but not a DEK1.

I have a Behemoth Chopper that I used last year to clear some low growing brushy overgrowth at near ground level but I found it was hard on the blade. In the past I had always used a billhook type tool. This year I went back to clear this area again and used just the billhook which is the right tool for the job. Moving forward I'm going to try and keep my chopper away from any possible dirt/stone/rock strikes and keep it working on clean wood.

One of these...but with the upper handle pointed in the opposite direction...(guy must not have know if he was coming or going.)

That’s not a REAPER……

This is a REAPER !!!

 

[Blues]

You're right...the guy holding the scythe is the reaper...

Cleared out milk weed with this one long time ago … when we bought our house, our back yard was full of it, taller than me.

Fantastic tool...

Why not? Gotta push the limits. I really just wanted to see if it could do it. I'll repair the blade myself, shouldn't be too terrible.

Images aren't great. Last two are heavily magnified.

The screw was small and clamped down on a wood block. A deadblow hammer was used.

The blade only rolled. No chips.
