Not to speak for anyone but me however I do think I can speak for others when I say that we wouldn't blindly put our money in randomly. CPK builds some of, if not THE best knives for their intended use. They don't have our trust by happenstance. If you'd rather buy a Busse, Nathan is a big fan of Jerry's work also.While I have a lot of respect from you (Nathan). I have not seen a good track record for Knife makers asking for a full-price (unless you are Busse).
In my experience and personal opinion, I'd trust Nathan, Jo and crew before any other knife maker. I and many others, lay down full payment without hesitation, for a reason.While I have a lot of respect from you (Nathan). I have not seen a good track record for Knife makers asking for a full-price (unless you are Busse).
