Whelp. Time to order some more steel. So what's next?

[Nathan the Machinist]

Decking steel remains a bottleneck here so I don't want that operation to pause. I need to keep steel in the pipeline and it's getting close to time to order more steel.

We're going to do another K20 pre-order. We obviously left a lot of frustrated demand there. But, even assuming we buy enough steel for another hundred or even 200 swords, that's not enough tonnage.

In addition to the K20, I need to order steel for other projects down road.

We are running basic five now and a new EDC starts soon. The Shiv is about off of all of the machines now. We have steel for a 10-inch chopper and after that, there's not much material remaining.

I want to revisit the super duty. Or maybe the HDFK? We ought to do that kukri. Help me think, what else should we be looking at?

 

[MK1-RBT]

Yes

 

[yoko]

Khuk
Light medium choppers
Folder
Skinner
Competition choppers
HDFK

 

[ferider]

How about the Shiv XL ? (the spear knife) Thought that was very cool. Keep doing new stuff (Kukri, etc.), is my advice.

Lots of folders lol

And agreed with all

It feels like there is a lot of demand for the HDFK based on prices. It would be great to make that classic design available again.

It’s been a while since you ran a chopper so the light medium chopper you mentioned being on the drawing board would be cool; same with the kukri depending on which you feel more excited about.

I also think a kitchen knife whether it’s a revisit of the potato knife, a santoku, or a more classic chef’s knife would be great. I think in the past you’ve mentioned it’s not your strongest design area but I would think you could find a collaborator if you wanted to invest the time and energy.

I would also love a skinner or update to that model.

More daggers

Nathan, please revisit the HDFK. To many new comers have a hard time trying to get that iconic blade from you.

My other vote would be for a CPK axe / hatchet / tomahawk for splitting wood and taking down small trees.

A folder if you have nothing else to do in your spare time and are just sitting around.

 

[Box_Opener]

HDFK

Edit: it’s iconic and the rarity has put the price up so high they’re hard to get and hard to justify using. A second run would be a way of getting more user HDFKs in the wild. And I could get one in OD terotuf, which would be dope.

 

[Lorien]

please get that khukuri going! Baby needs a new pair of shoes!

 

[MattinLA]

Kukri

 

[osprey888]

Light Chopper!!!
Original Shiv!!!

 

[Nasby]

HDFK and Skinner!

 

[Ian80]

I would love a knife like the skinner. Also, a folder would be killer but that might not be in the budget at this time.

 

[PolRoger]

Maybe some type of BOLO chopper?

The design could range from a mid-sized 8" blade up to a 10" or maybe even a 12" blade?

The CPK Kukri has been on the white board for sometime now but a BOLO could help with using up some of your steel order?

Based on the feel and balance of the K20, it’s time for a K26!
