This must be where the DEKs hang out, eh?

Is that a Coke bottle lambsfoot? Very interesting if it is
I have not studied the traditional patterns as much as I should have but that seems like an odd duck to me.

It is!

I had it made after I found this early 20th century example (a fellow collector dates it to sometime after first world war, '30s likely). I have only ever seen one other vintage example of a lambfoot blade on a coke bottle frame - it's definitely a rarer configuration.

Things go better with coke.

That's a beautiful pattern.

Very nice! Thank you for sharing that bit of history and the comparison photo. Congrats on a beautiful and well done re-creation

Didn't get in on the pre sale but did manage to score a DEK2 off the web site last week ... wasn't expecting the weight difference , what a chunk

Hopefully, XtianAus is OK that I post this here, just as a matter of DEK lover's interest .... right side by me this morning.

Try planting 'em B, and see what grows...

I like that idea. I've heard from semi-reliable sources that if you plant two DEKs next to each other and they hybridize, you can grow a Shiv 2.0

A Behemoth from the DEK2, a UF from the DEK1, of course.
