I'm hoping that you made your post in jest! I see that you have not been around for too long in here so the best (
unsolicited) advice which I can give you is to read more and when in doubt just post less, if you're going to make such posts as you did!
FYI, Bob (
Betzner) is the most preeminent and respected member on this subforum and I assure you that he's no troll. I admit that he's having some clean fun at your expense because you are very inexperienced with regards to how the CPK (
Carothers Performance Knives) manufacturing and sales operations work, but we have all been rookies at some point in the past and have had to learn by " reading more and saying less".
The response that Nathan gave you was vague at best and I can see as to how you may have interpreted it in the way which you did, but that's just Nathan, i.e, sometimes he gives the most detailed of technical information and at times his posts regarding some questions are open to quite a few interpretations! From what I know (
I could be wrong!) Nathan is not currently taking a personal knife order from anybody on here (
close friends and family members may be a different story though) and also his custom work books may be out by 2-3 years.
What Bob was trying to tell you and having fun at your expense was, "get in line, have lots of patience and good luck!"
