Looks great. I love the sleek, sharp look. Looks pointy too, nice!
Wow that looks really good
Is that the new 4 inch knife you are working on (Designing) Lorien?
Sounds very intriguing indeed, I too also would prefer a 4 inch blade, can't wait to see the final version! D3V or even elmax would be perfect IMO for this length Blade-Thanks againyup. I wanted something near in weight and carryability to the edc with a longer blade, (similar stock thickness, maybe even a touch thinner). Intended use is similar in scope to the edc with an extra personal protection dimension worked in
typically, after plenty of back and forth, I send Nathan drawings and a model made from aluminum and modeling clay, but that leaves him with lots of blanks to fill in. My intention is to get better at this each time CPK produces something new based on one of my patterns
I intend to get my workshop up and running over the next year or two so that I can more efficiently produce working prototypes that I can test before submitting. That's the idea with this pattern. I have a few other knives I've been working on over the past few years that I'll consider sending in as well. One of them is a big nessmuk type thing, another is a revised field knife
Justin, I'm not sure what 'finder groves' are?

I generally find those types of ridges as uncomfortable because they never fit my hand.
challenge accepted.
I very much like where you are going with this. Personally the EDC falls in too closer to a folder without the convenience of one for me. The changes you speak of would address that for me.
Finder was a failed attempt at finger. The ridge separating the two groves is what caught my eye. I generally find those types of ridges as uncomfortable because they never fit my hand.
I seem to recall that is where the Inkosi lost you last year as the 25 wasn't also exactly your cuppa, having identical grooves to the Inkosi.
Lorien I've been looking for something to fill the gap between EDC and FK and that looks like a winner. What I'm really intrigued by is this Big Nessmuk Type Thing you speak of. How far are we from seeing a sketch??
