I thought my DEK family was complete at five before a beautiful gem arrived unexpectedly…
I am very grateful to have these.

That is the first DEK 3 that I’ve seen acid washed and ground like that. The contrast with the grind is amazing. Nomination for CPK hall of fame for sure!I thought my DEK family was complete at five before a beautiful gem arrived unexpectedly…

4x4’s are cool. 3x3’s are pretty awesome too.

Just having one DEK3 is special (unless your
ferider
, 
) Having three w/ such contrast to each other is absolutely frickin’ amazing!!! Congratulations sir !
I’m curious, did you get all three from the pre-order or did you con one off of some sucker that’s seriously regretting it now !?!
Most importantly, and again, that is an amazing set of DEK3s, my friend.
Best regards,

Thank you for the compliment on the photos. My photography secret is taking dozens of photos from different angles and settings in the hope that one or two turn out. Sometimes even that doesn't work. Nathan's knives are the star of the show though.

You are correct that having even one DEK3 is very special. I am overly blessed with these.
The only one I got from the pre-order was the one on top in Magnacut with the Desert Ironwood scales. The standard tumbled D3V with OD Terotuf was acquired through a WTB ad where I offered to pay double the original price and someone said yes. These are impossible to find at original prices, so that is the reality if you really want one. The special third one with the acid washed finish was an unexpected special gift from Nathan in response to a knife I gifted him. He went way over the top in my favor.
Thank you for the kind words and Merry Christmas to all my friends here!
