Nice choices, Mat! Mike
 
Well I ended up pretty much copying Casinostocks Casinostocks . It just sounded like the perfect configuration. Since picking up a HDFK with AECM it was hard to stay away from that handle material and if I’m going to wait several months might as well grab a few more options. Now I only hope Nathan doesn’t have a booger allocated for my order!

I'm flattered :D
 
These are Hard Knocks pieces. They're the only swedgies I've seen on either to date.

Does anyone have a pic of a FK or FK2 with a swedge? I can’t picture it given how high the primary grind is/ how little flat face is left.

This question keeps popping up and the short simple answer is: NO!

Nathan has never before done a milled swedge on either FK1 or FK2 (UFK). There are some FK1s and FK2s in the wild with swedges but those were done by an aftermarket craftsman (mostly by Josh of REK fame). The closest that you will come to seeing what a milled CPK swedge looks like, will be by ogling over the EDC3 pattern. The other swedges which CPK had done in the past to their choppers, were not milled and presumably done by hand and machinery.

I reserve the right to being wrong, all the time :)

It's not your Field Knife, it's Nathan's baby till the stork flies it out to yours! Nathan is going to be holding onto your fund$ within his fiduciary duties. The Booger is an additional item, some will get it and some won't.
