Was your maiden name

Grats brother on Austin's upcoming nuptials. Wish Austin, his bride and the family the best of times

I can't speak for Jo but I do whisper for Nathan from time to time as self-styled #stillnotnathan: https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/good-luck-jo.1519047/#post-17444538

Nope, my maiden name is Keech. When my sister was born she was a tan chubby baby and my dad called her Bear and it stuck. To this day when her husband calls her Jeannie, it's weird for me. My kids even call her aunt Bear.

Always interested in surnames, I found this:

Noun. keech (plural keeches) (obsolete) A mass or lump of fat rolled up by the butcher.

Your parents were obviously both literate and possessed of a sense of humor.

(Please tell "Bear" I mean no offense. Last thing I need today is a visit from the "Bad News Bears". )

Hi Jo, IIRC read somewhere that the CPK-Basic 5" knife will debut for sale on BF.com on Friday 8/27. Considering ordering multiples to pass a couple as gifts to family. Would it be best to wait for them to become available on your own site since planning on multiples so to not bottleneck the sales thread on BF.com? Thanks.

Hey Jo, I think the thumbnail on the website for the kephart under the "knives" “currently available” tab is wrong, I think it's a FK instead

I think you're right. I'll have to figure it out. Thanks Eric!

I'll have to think about that.

It took a while, but I got it. Thank you!

One per post when they are on the forum. Thanks!

Jo, do you by chance have any FK2 scales available still?

Not sure if the double red ones are still available here but these have awesome color to them in person. I have a set for my DEK1 and they‘re damn nice.

I have quite a few. I know we're out of natural canvas, antique and wood, but if you have something in particular in mind I'd be happy to check for you.

Thanks Jo, today is travel day, I will get ahold of you tomorrow and check inventory once I decide what I want.

Sounds good!

Morning, Jo. This is a question for you as a user:

I really like CPM M4. One of the reasons being that it doesn't corrode for me, kind of the lowest Cr content I like go to. Have a Spyderco GB2 on my desk here, use it every day, beside sharpening no maintenance, and it's as clean as it ever was.

In one of Nathan's videos, he mentions that your competition blades use V4E. I have one 4V Spyderco and for me, in the yard etc., there is no difference to my Spyderco M4 knives in use.

How do you compare M4 with 4V/V4E in real use ?

Morning Mrs, when/where did you say you have competition cuts in P’Forge?

I have only ever had the one M4 knife. It had been previously raced with and didn't exactly fit me very well, so I don't know that I can really judge it. My racer with V4E was designed for me, brand new and insanely sharp.

I posted a desire to purchase one of yesterday's Basic FK's, but close inspection revealed that my membership had lapsed making it difficult to contact me. I have sternly upbraided my personal secretary and rectified the matter. I thank you for your patience.
