Been playing around with mine for a week or two..Great knife. CPK team, you guys knocked it out of the park (again). Wish I could have taken two of these on my last deployment.
I've also been using it for some bushcrafty things just because I'm stubborn, I guess. No issues yet batoning through some harder wood, but I tried to avoid knots. The thin edge makes great feather sticks.

Hmmmm... Not a regular and wondering where the pre order thread might be found?

Is the double black you posted acid washed? It looks darker… and frankly, fantastic.
@Everyone
Someone requested upstream a bit if anyone has pics of double black UNbuffed.
Im +1ing this…
Amped I got a seat at the table friday. Amped.
Glorious–thanks for putting those up. Is that Ti hardware also?
Ive been spoiled with ebonite on a few of my other blades and honestly love the feel AND the look. Im also a terotuf junky… so Im thinking the unbuffed double black may be a good balance of the two. That blade also looks acid washed or darker. Is that just how it came?
Beautiful blade sir.
If its not too much to ask, could you get a shot from the end of the handle? I read somewhere about the possibility of a lanyard hole. Does the DEK have one? I dont recall seeing a verdict as the whether or not it was added.
Im gonna have to copy your move here if its offered, the acid wash is dead gorgeous! I have a MC acid washed with ebonite, and its one of the sexiest knives I have. Aside from the aesthetic, im not versed in acid wash. Is there any benefit or detriment to having that done? Thanks again for putting up the pics. This is the first 'end shot' Ive seen.
I think on d3v it's mainly aesthetic unless you need the anti-glare help.
Are you sure it doesn't decrease the rust resistance?
Can you elaborate?
Just because my limited understanding was you designed it as a defensive easy to carry knife
