Did you mean 30 degrees?

ETA now I get it, the secondary bevel is 45.

Did you mean 30 degrees?

45 deg, one side. It's like a 22.5 DPS edge.

Mom's kitchen knives are about 45 included angle because they're sharpened 20 deg to the bevel (not centerline). 45 is actually pretty narrow for this application.

I could swear that there was a post sometime in the past when Nathan had stated that no knife would leave his shop without handle scales. As prescient as Nathan is, he should've foreseen making breaching tool pry bars in CPK's future, nevertheless I still do not see inconsistencies or deviations from his prior pledge

Now that I know it has a blood groove I’m going to wait for the preorder. Probably go hollow ground clip point.

Is this a knife though?

I will argue that it is a sharpened pry bar. And pry bars don't have scales

That's what I just said! I gave you an out, take the win

 

[Daverous]

If I carve out part of a wall when I get mine can I have the pieces made into scales? I pay poorly but I do put out if that makes a difference.

Prybars aren’t sharpened, though, dumbass. The very act of sharpening one by definition makes it a knife.


These all should have sold for $900 each.


EVERYONE IN THE CPK SUBFORUM SHOULD BE DEEPLY RELIEVED THAT NATHAN DOESN’T LISTEN TO A SINGLE THING I SAY.


You’d all be bleeding for these.

Bleeding.

It clearly needs a crappy cord wrap handle slathered in epoxy.

…if only we knew of someone for a task just that stupid…

 

[Cap’n Smudge]

I do hope to get one of these. If not for anything else than to feel the heft of that thick of a piece of D3V.
I mean .350” that’s chonky!!!

I have to go cut a limb from a tree in my back yard. I think that it needs saw teeth on the spine. . Mike

Carve Your Own Scales with the pry bar

With how thick it is... it's actually pretty comfortable in hand
