The 'I ❤ Nathan' Thread

[bluemax_1]

Not loving the idea of you driving back in that salvaged title clapped out F450, not at all. Listen, if your inner voice (and Jo's saying it loudly) tells you not to drive it back, do NOT drive it back specially in inclement wintery conditions. Flat bed it back like Marc had suggested and ride back with the NinJo.

Agreed. I'd initially thought he was just going to pull the needed parts or trailer it back, but driving it back?

Safety first.

So far so good. There's actually less snow where we are right now than there was when we left.

Not sure how long you're staying, but there's a system moving through my area (NW WI) at the moment that I think is Illinois-bound. Don't tarry too long in the land of Lincoln.

Well we were supposed to get the truck and leave, but the guys already an hour late. They said he doesn't usually show up for another 2 hours. He better hope he's early today.

Is the earlier drama over?

Someone else will have to bring up the rear on this one, I'm gonna take some time off.

That? Never. It was a 1 of 1.

when would I do some kind of integral dagger pre-order? That depends on this little gremlin and what college she gets into.


As a rule, I try to stick to high quality high performance knives and avoid extremely expensive collector pieces, but I'll make an exception for education...

Dear Nathan,

There's so much I love about this post. I love that your kids are healthy and happy. I love that you show up for them, and you're willing to do what it takes to nurture them. I love that you value education. I love the original daggers, and I'm blown away by your capacity to produce them. I love that you intend to make more daggers, of any sort. I love your focus on performance (yes please, quality and utility) and value (yay! I get to own one) in your business. I love that you make knives and are so present and open in the forums. Thanks for being you!

<3

Hmm?! No lurve in March or April?

Nathan, you may wanna cancel quite a few preorders (prolly starting with Marc's) summarily to whip these ignorant slobs into shape and get command of this kinda insolence real fast like a Boss!

Oooffft

You're not alone Matty. Mental illness runs in my family too.

Couldn't find a more likely place to post this, so doing so here.

Just got my UF2 about an hour ago, my first Carothers piece. I can't immediately go give it a work out, downsides of urban life. But I think I'm in love.

What a lovely knife. Thanks to both Nathan and Jo.

Fondly reminiscing about how much sharpening I haven't done the past six or seven years.

Happy Fathers Day to the father of CPK and its Delta protocol. I whiffed on CPK sub’s 6th anniversary on Friday the 17th! Happy belated nevertheless…

Also, happy Fathers Day to the rest of the knuckleheads.

Happy Father's Day Nathan!
