Same as the last two pics on CPK's page, from when I first received it after the late 12/2022 sale.Wow that Dek2 is beat to tar!
Thanks man, as that swedged DEK2 above was due to your generosity during Blade '23.
I thought CPK retired the DEK 2 and 3?Dek2 is my favorite Dek. When is the next preorder for Dek 2 and Dek 3 knives? I think many of us wish we had ordered either more, or done different options.
Same but a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds.I thought CPK retired the DEK 2 and 3?
I think there's was mention of maybe more 2s in the far futureI thought CPK retired the DEK 2 and 3?
Don't think the 2 and 3 are officially retired, but pretty sure he said something to the effect that there are no plans to do any more in the foreseeable future.I thought Nathan said he was going to do another preorder for the 2 & 3 down the road sometime. He did two for the Dek1, so it made sense he would do another for the 2 and 3. Keeping fingers crossed!
