Gotcha, I’ve always been curious to try out an Arkansas stone. Oh and my dek finally arrived today after a lengthy ups trip due to weather. Beautifully finished knife

I sure didn’t mean to come off as bragging, although I am super-pleased how these came out.Sweet!
P.S.
Can't say I've ever heard of anyone else bragging about having a Mammoth DEK

That's pretty cool
I have to say....yet again, I am impressed.
Played around with the 2x dek1 I got recently. For the stated idea behind the knife, Lorien...you did very well.
I can get all 4 of my dominant grips, the point is in line with the hand and the pommel doesn't dig into my side like my fk2 does when carried iwb on the right hip. (not a negative of the fk2, I like it a lot for it's intended use, and that longer handle is part of that concept).
You're right, it might look not so different than a general knife, but the things that matter (orientation, grip flexibility, ease of carry, point in line wth fist) are spectacular for how I'd want it to be.
Nathan......just dayum. Perfect. Lorien....you have a gift with subtlety of design that escapes most.
Mr. Pirtle.....very nice leatherwork. Did you use a laser and a machine to make that thing? Yeah, it's that good.
Anyways.....good job guys! I'm very happy. Hope the pix are fun for you.
(DEK1 in unbuffed basic black, dek1 in buffed double black w/blue screws, black pirtle sheath).
