#notnathan: Early Americans were stupid...that is all.How about a combat Bowie?
It would be amazing to create a true all-rounder that embodies the American frontier spirit—something capable of close-quarters combat and even bushcraft.
Of course, I personally prefer full-sized katanas or rapiers—even just the blades would be fantastic if you ever make them!![]()
Remember when Lorien came up with this beast? I always hoped CPK put it into production.It appears I've been hoodwinked. Well played, sir.
Axe aside, there is another blade I wouldn't mind seeing cpk visit that I'll mention again (I think I've requested it in this thread). A lighter, longer and quicker light chopper. Beefier machete kinda thing?
MC, LC, other thingy.

While my plan has been on paper for some time now, last night I got it so dialed in, that I'm excited about taking the next step and getting started. I have a bar of steel ready.
I built a knife around a handle concept that's been in my mind for awhile now, so I have something of a proof of concept for this knife that I can test.
The handle sculpting is a departure from just about anything that you'd be familiar with, ie; it's fairly unique.
Preliminary specs;
Handle... 6"
Blade... 15-16"
Stock thiccness... .156"
Blade width... 2.25-2.5"
Material...CPM3V and Terotuf

No I'm serious. We used to do 400 - 600 and send half of those to a pre-order. But the field knives, we've done over 800. Probably closer to 900. And we're going to go back and do more even though the sales are slowing down. I want to have shelf stock. I want people to be able to go on the site and buy what they want without any drama. I'm going to go back into production on that pattern so we can have some available for people without having to jump through hoops. I never wanted people to have to jump through hoops.
And we're making a lot of these EDC also.
Right now we are scrambling because
... Still need to do the skinner, dagger, folder, brush cutlass and kukri. Maybe an axe...
