The "Ask Nathan a Question" Thread

It's called the 6" Utility Fighter and it is better than the Kabar in every way.

The Kabar is a turd. Its existence and popularity with troops, to this day, is one of the reasons that we did the UF and also licensed it to Boker because our fighting men need something better than that.

No offense was meant Mr. Nathan. Furthermore I have tried on numerous occasions to purchase one of your utility fighters but, I refuse to pay the ridiculous mark ups some of the sellers are offering in the exchange.

Come on Ron you know that Nathan has no control over prices in the aftermarket, here or elsewhere.......

You need to make the effort and do the work to get in on a weekly sale or pre-order or expect to pay a premium in the aftermarket. It's basic supply and demand and has nothing to do with Nathan.

Not angry with Mr. Nathan at all just angry at the system.

No offense taken :thumbsup:

You can get a Field knife in our next Friday sale. The last sale was pretty slow, you'll have no trouble getting one. It's not designed as a fighter. But neither is the Kabar.
 
Hello, will CPK have a longer sword than the K20 I saw you say that the K20 needs to be placed on your biggest grinder Does it mean that you don't have a corresponding grinder I have a K20 and I like it so much! So I thought if there was a longer one, it would definitely be better, cpk is awesome!
 
20" is a little on the long side for a wakizashi, an indoor sword.

The next size up would be the Katana, which is about 8 inchs longer. It is more of an outdoor battle sword. I would like to make one, one day. In theory I could make one with my current setup, although it would be on the outer limits of what I could fit in my process. I would not be able to make a rapier very effectively. I might make one someday, but it's less practical and not a great fit for our process. I'm sure I'll do one at some point before I shuffle off this mortal coil, but not anytime soon.

Hey Nathan! I'm interested in ordering a knife custom engraved as an engagement present. Is that something you guys can do? If not, would you have any suggestions on how or where to do this?

I'm sorry, we are not able to offer customizations of this kind at this time.
