With great thanks and gratitude to both Jo and Nathan for marshaling my PITA DEK1 preorders and for Jo bearing with my self-absorbed requests of adding stuff after-the-facts. I promise to behave much better in the future, well, maybe
No time for pics now (
getting ready for an off the grid trip) but if I get the time, I will take some pics of the satin DEK1 with the rotten trailer park plywood which Nathan must've scored specially for me. When I return, I'm planning on doing some handle scales swaps here in-house to get things the way I want them now that they are laying in front of me with enough extra toys to play around with. Maybe after BladeShow2021.
I specially wanted to pay major props to Nathan because the acid washed/satin combo one with swedge and the penetrator tip ended up being so intricate and delicate but he certainly managed to finish it with the utmost professionalism. Imagine that the acid wash runs all the way across the spine to the tip and then he had to make that tip a penetrator one whereas preserving the AW effect toward the tip. A lesser pro would've just sharpened that top and if the AW wore out, oh welp, AW does wear out with use but no Mr. Nathan Carothers, no siree! Thank you again Nathan for the professionalism if fit and finish. We do notice these things and hence why we will follow you as loyal customers as long as you and yours wish to stay in the game.
Wait what? This is not the I <3 Nathan Thread! OK, enough of me gushing on Mr. NC or else rumors would fly and then I'll in big trouble with the NinJo
But seriously, great job guys + the CPK-Crew: Mighty Mark, Bo, Fred and Sadie/Ziggy
000Robert If I may suggest something, try UltiClip (I use slim model).
Lorien
uses or used CCC clip on his DEK1 Kydex and approved, and I am all in on most Lorien approved stuff. Fanboy, to his great embarrassment I am sure
. They looked just like that. Would dent rosewood sticks without showing a mark.
!!! So hot it's sizzling. Definitely my style. Nice one
