Looking good!! Also what is the racing grind and how does it differ from the production model?
That wasn't the blade I originally intended to send to Lorien. There were blades made with different grind and edge geometries and that one was a little thinner than what we settled on after testing, but the "correct" blade was attached to a tang whose design was tweaked and incompatible with the final (at the time) grip design. Since I was wanting his input on the handle more than the edge geometry I ended up sending him the knife he has. The production model is going to be a little more durable than his test knife.
My depression grows daily.. I did not preorder the NASK. I am full to the brim with self loathing. My foolishness knows no bounds.Thanks for the info and updates gents. This helps assuage my depression from failing to jump on the light chopper preorder.

I wouldn't think to speak for Lorien, but are you referring to the shot where he is choked up using the finger chill? That is the only image with a lot of extra handle left over that I see.Lorien
Thanks for all these posts.
Can you elaborate on the thoughts behind the longer handle design? In one post it looks about 2" extra real estate off the back porch. What is the intent?
Thanks in advance...
