My apologies @Hardknocks, I hope we can still be friends....

No! Well...maybe. Send me your Field Knives and we'll talk about it.

This is going to be a great knife. Cant wait for the collab

Exactally what I was thinking, any idea of when all the tweaks will be done and available?

 

[Lorien]

just identifying issues now, that'll probably take a week or two to dial in, but the sheath is more or less done and I was expecting that to add more time. It didn't, so now it's just working things out on a micro level in the handle department. It's a little tricky because I didn't get it to the desired stock thickness, so I have to take into consideration the added girth and weight of the thicker stock I used. I'm thinking this knife might end up being somewhere around .16"

this proof of concept model balances at the index finger bay, and that's about exactly where I want it to be. So far it's proving itself to be pretty accurate, I really tried hard to make indexing the edge and point intuitive and easy to figure out quickly. I'll need to make a couple of changes before I get to documented testing, as some of the work I've done with it have exposed a couple of trouble spots that need fine tuned

The real question now is: How does it throw?

not willing to break this one to find out. I'll let you know how it throws when I receive a prototype for testing

 

[woodysone]

I was just joking about throwing, but from what I see, is that you are putting a lot of thought into this and the results will be highly anticipated.

 

[Lorien]

I was just joking about throwing

I wasn't
And, thanks

 

[woodysone]

Your just having to much fun!

 

[TRfromMT]

Lorien never jokes about throwing knives. He uses it to work out weight and balance. He probably sees it in ultra slow motion, like something outta The Matrix.

Maybe you could process a whole pig or large bony cuts of meat with DEK1 for an epic barbecue this summer.

 

[Fonedork]

I’m gonna nickname this the Shank.

 

[Lorien]

ok, I'm satisfied. All packed up and ready to be mailed to my homies

 

[Oyster]

[XtianAus]

I am satisfied too. Now can I have one?

 

[Comprehensivist]

Congratulations Lorien on completing your goal of a working 3D model to send to the CPK team! Thanks for sharing the whole process with us from concept to prototype.

Now that the baton has officially been passed to Nathan, I look forward to seeing how he translates your handmade prototype into one of his precision production hard working tools.

Well done! No, very very well done!!

Phil

Are my eyes playing tricks or is there a slight exposed pommel?

This is good news. I'll be sure to get my mailing address to you asap. I'm looking forward to receiving it. Thanks for the opportunity
