yepBtw, not sure if you mentioned it somewhere, but the blade length is the same as on DEK1?

I don't think of this knife as being tanto anything. If I were forced to characterize it accurately, and from my perspective, it's a dropped point with an angular belly. People are gonna say it's a tanto or tanto style, and that's cool with me. It's what it is, and it's that way for a number of very specific reasons.
Someone said at some point in time that the point where the two edges intersect is like a big serration. That has always struck me as a really interesting way to think of that feature of that design. For this project, I wanted a knife that COULD pry open a steel dishwasher, and cut things like one of the roots by pushing that intersection point into and through it. I've also cut a bit of firehose with it, and it works as intended.
DEK2 has two points, and one of them is double edged!

I know that likeability of design is a subjective opinion, but I never liked tanto that is just two straight lines. If a tanto has a belly to it, it looks way better to me.
Dek2 offered in magnacut would be
. It will be flat ground and made from CPM3V.
I would be surprised with the bias towards overbuild of the dek2 , it may be more suitable for the culinary bias of the dek3.Hmm yes but i'd never rule out Nathan having different options

But hey like u say, I don’t know and don’t rule anything out... but we can have educated guesses
Yeah I need onethinking of DEK2 as a compact HDFK is pretty accurate
