What knife would you like to see next from CPK?

[Lorien]

A full 4 fingered grip?

nope, but you know what they say- a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush

 

[Karoi]

I’d just like to echo what quite a few others have requested regarding thinner knives.
A 1/8” thick version of the FK2 (more or less) in D3V would be my dream knife

 

[trevitrace]

I know I've posted this one in other spots in the cpk forum but not sure if here.



Would love a lighter/thinner chopper/machete. Probably my most often used big knife, great for clearing brush and light chopping duties.

 

[Keoneloa]

DEK is the one I'd like to see next....

 

[Casinostocks]

I don't ask for much so I'm still gonna keep my wishlist to something as low-key as possible:

EDC3 WITH TEROTUF HANDLE SCALES PUHLEEEZE

Ha!

 

[indawire]

And I'll second those Terotuf scales!

 

[indawire]

And keep the length 1/16" less than 4" so I don't have any issues with CT. State law since I prefer a fixed blade carry.

The Dagger Grind and Satin UF Please

 

[Phill50]

The Dagger Grind and Satin UF Please

Yes this! and or acid wash too.

 

[Casinostocks]

On the next batch of UFKs aka FK2, please offer an added option for finer SW finish (eradicating the tooling marks as much as feasible) at an added cost, please also offer AW and Satin finish in addition to antique micarta handles. Those will sell quite well, my word is like money in the bank!

But watch out for that monkey!

Too many different finishes starts to become a logistical headache, especially when people start switching, as well as slowing down production

[Rollercoaster]

Anyone mention potato knife yet

I beg to differ. Being able to offer what people want within reason, is good business. None of those requests are really outside the realm of CPK’s current capabilities.

I'm not saying it's outside the realm of their capabilities, I'm saying anytime you introduce additional factors it complicates and slows down production. And it's not like they are having a hard time selling knives. But that decision is completely up to them. If it was my business, I would not add more to it if I'm selling out of product in minutes. But again, just my opinion.

Don't even get me started.

To fill out your product line: Scale down the FK2 a bit, into a hunting / utility knife. Blade from thinner stock (say 1/8" to 5/32"), ground thinner behind the edge, in CPM 4V or Vanadis 4E, run hard Rc62-63. A 4" Blade, but keep the FK2 handle (rather than EDC handle). A slicer that still has some amount of modest toughness. And, I'd also buy the same knife, but out of S110V (Rc63) or 20CV/M390 (Rc62).

Better still, talk Crucible into producing their patented, but never produced, CPM 3V-Modified (with 2.5% Niobium and 0.11% Nitrogen).

Witness the incredible integral fighter Nathan posted on IG, as a stretch build, I'd like to see a subhilt fighter! CPM 3V would be most appropriate, but I've come to respect AEB-L (after having to get past steel-snobbery). Larrin Thomas has had a significant effect in this regard. AEB-L is a minimalistic steel, but in a stainless, it's toughness is tops. I'm thinking 8" to 9" subhilt fighter, left to the Carothers mind to design.
