The "Ask Nathan a question" thread

idunno. 20? It's a lot of work tweaking fixtures for just 20 knives. But so is hand grinding 20 knives the hard way.....

I want a DEF also!

 

[bluemax_1]

I don’t think getting to 20 is going to be a problem.

Yeah, I don't think hitting 20 is going to be a problem either.

Ok, CPK pool time, I'm going to start the guess with at least 2.5x that number

 

[Airbornetx]

If it helps get there, I’ll take 2 DEF’s...

 

[mpjustin]

More of a statement than a question but......yes please to a double edged variant. It’s one of my favourite knives.

 

[Gusbuster]

I think with Tom and Mat’s order we should have close to twenty already.

What’s you’re favorite sandwich ?

On a Weck roll? I’m sure she had them like that in PA, but outside of this WNY/PA region, most don’t know about beef on weck!

Which one of your blades do you use to cut the beef?

I don’t see Ebonite as a scale option listed for the upcoming UF2. Is Ebonite out for this run? Thanks in advance.

Dammit, this is gonna be expensive......

I think we're out of it. I imported it from the only high quality manufacturer still making it today in Japan. I like it, but it's optimized for musical instruments, pipe stems and pens etc and I would like to tweak it a little for our application but they're not interested in working with me so I plan to make my own (the raw materials are available and curing it is not complicated.)

Are the AEB-L ground the same as Delta 3V? i.e. just steel and HT difference.

Yes

Nathan, would you please clarify for me the double edge dagger grind option for the UF2?
View attachment 1572687Is it the top photo or the bottom, which was the Double Edge Fighter option on OG UF?
I stole pics from satin grind post, top is Gusbuster and bottom is Tigerden
(Thank you, fellas)

 

[Steven65]

Nathan is it possible to order additional sets of scales and fasteners for the UF2? Are all options available?

 

[Gusbuster]

Nathan could you please offer acid wash fasteners for an additional fee like the shiny, and blue fasteners? They look real nice with the satin and acid wash flats option. Here is a great example on this Blade Show EDC2.

Swarthy,

Nathan had just recently responded to a very similar question. See below.

The double edge option on the UF preorder looked like the 2nd photo.

If there are a lot of orders for the double edge in the current preorder, we can expect something similar again. If there are only a small amount of double edged ordered, the option will likely look closer to the first pic.

In addition to the standard UF, I will also offer a double edged version of it. The sale will be for a rear bevel ground onto the standard, but if there is much interest I'll do a double edge variation instead.

hope that’s helpful.
