I saw one for $268 last month, should go for it.
^^^^^^ - Gorgeous
Thank you for informative comparison
So the Swamp steel you mention is similar characteristic of Cru wear?
I see Carothers fixed blades go QUICK on the sale posts. What makes these knives so sought after?
This is spot on. @Nathan the Machinist and team nail it every time and customer service (from what I've seen) are bar none. I love their interaction with customers in their sub forum as well!Friendly folks to work with and the owners/makers interact with their customers. Nathan is a mad scientist and OCD about perfection in all of his knives. But most of all, CPK knives are known for their performance. You have to really use a CPK hard, to really appreciate what it has to offer.
At least I've got you to keep me company in that club I also broke my "Don't buy knives on credit" rule for the KOD, lol.I believe Carothers is responsible for taking me past my “most I’ve ever spent on a blade” threshold...three times now. . This is why I say run!

Thanks for all the responses. I have learned to things with this post.
1. This community is incredible. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and experiences.
2. My wife is going to divorce me, after I start down this Carothers rabbit hole. (LOL)
Really great comradery everyone. Thank you
At your price point, I agree with @ScooterG, the FK2/UFK is a great choice. Just a great “all around” blade..... I want to dive into a Carothers, but don't like spending over $300 for a knife at this point in the hobby. Any recommendations on the best product per capita model to start?
Bummer that it’s soooo freakin hard to get one.
Some models are all gone in like 20 seconds?
Can one even get on a list?
For me, it’s too much stress on a work day.
Why bother?

Once again, fantastic communications offered throughout this thread. I think I am going to make the FK2 in unbuffed "undecided" material. I CANT wait to find it....
