Wicked sharpened tip Frazer! Is that a FK2?

It's the UF. I laid it in front of the Dek to try and see what the tip and swedge would look like. Fk2 is probably the best one to compare but I don't have one with a swedge.

While still on my DEK preorder high, I was motivated to take a few photos of my last two preorder knives. I didn't know how the acid wash and satin primaries were going to look but being from CPK I knew I would love it, which of course I do. The acid wash with swedge is no slouch either and will be my user this fall at hunting camp.

Wood on satin at hunting camp?!? Damnnnn!

 

[Tigerden]

^^^Justin , I dont know if I am that crazy. The wood on satin may just be broke out at night after a few beers. The terotuf knife is the one Ill use for field dressing and other tasks.

My deer knife is Osage on satin, can't beat it.

I like a stonewashed finish on my tool knives that get beat up and used regularly, but I don't actually use my deer knife regularly. Like many of you I'm pretty busy and overwhelmed most of the time and my hunts are a special time for me. I enjoy having special tools for it.

Would love to see a picture or two of your own personal knives Nathan the Machinist

What (currently) has two thumbs, a wood groove, and is finally about to hang a couple tree stands?

Cant wait for my DEK hunting knife!

Nice 91bravo . I have my first DEK coming from last Fridays Sale and can't wait to get it in hand. The buffed burlap on yours looks like it has more texture than the same scales on my heavy chopper. Looks more grippy. Love it.

Thanks! The handles are unbuffed though.

 

[Tigerden]

^Unbuffed . Even better and more grippy! They seemed too shiny so I thought buffed. I only have one CPK with the burlap but it still is one of my favs. So many great handle choices. I went with ebonite for the preorder.

Is it a D2 Skinner?

It's either a deer knife or a dear wife... Sorry, can't mix and match as you please

Dear? Ugh...

Deer. My deer knife. Is a nice finely finished D2 Skinner in some nice chatoyancet Osage orange

 

[Casinostocks]

^ OK dear, whatever you say

BTW, Nathan has a thick hide, me thinks... No matter how much I have tormented him, he has not once spat on my knives... None that I know of

I figured as much. Sounds beautiful. I wish that piece of Osage down there wasn’t giving you so much trouble. I expected much less with it’s age.

So far for me the best Osage orange came from logs taken off of my aunts farm in Oklahoma. Other Osage orange that I have purchased online has lacked the gem like glimmer and interesting grain and was less dimensionally stable. I don't know much about wood, I just know it has been hit and miss and the Osage that I saw up myself so far has been the best.

 

[Nathan the Machinist]

I have about a hundred pounds of 15-year-old Osage logs ready to be cut up. Probably yield 5 or 10 lb of scales material...
