The "Ask Nathan a Question" Thread

Hi Nathan, for the pre-sold kukri knives, are you planning to use 3V steel produced by the European factory, or the existing stock steel? Will all future products be made with European-produced 3V steel?

The knives sold on pre-order are being made of US produced CPM 3V.
 
Hi Nathan, I’m thinking of getting one of the FK3, but I’m not sure if I I should go with the tweaked 3V, or the CW. Which type of steel would you prefer for this knife?
I’m kinda leaning towards the CW, because I have examples of all the other steels you have offered besides the 3V, but the tweaked 3V sounds interesting too. I would love to get a thin DEK1 in the tweaked 3V, do you think you might be offering that at some point?

Would the Cruwear technically have higher edge stability and strength since it's run harder? I realize the difference is likely small between the tweaked 3V and the CW, but if one was after the highest edge stability between those two, would the CW be slightly better?

Grain size, carbide size, and I'm sure other factors also contribute to this, so I realize hardness isn't the only factor at play here, so your expert input is appreciated.

This is to say nothing of why your 3V is so great and the better overall choice, I'm just curious about apex stability specifically between the two.

Thank you!
 
Nathan,

Do you still think there will be any extra K20s in Friday sales for the fools who managed to miss 2 preorders? Thank you sir.
 
Hi Nathan, will the tweaked d3v do just as well in the nail test as the normal d3v?And will there be EDCs in upcoming friday sales anytime soon?Thanks.
