That set is some of the most beautiful wood I have seen in a long time....

I’d like to chime in and throw out a question since the basic standard FK2 configuration is mentioned in this thread.

Would it be a nightmare to have more options when it comes to scale and sheath colors?

Keeping it simple by offering 3 color combos such as black micarta with a black sheath, natural micarta with a tan sheath and camo micarta with an OD green sheath could attract more idiots like myself that like having options even though it’s a utilitarian model.

Some people have no clue as to what LLCs actually are.

Jokes aside, Lorien's already alluded to a
Longer Light Chopper in reponse to requests for a more machete-like CPK.

The next time someone sends me a piece of wood I'm putting it in the fireplace...

as much as pre orders are horrible, 90 degrees spines are even worse. They're just awful. But there are some people who legitimately have a use for them and would like to be able to order their knife with a 90-degree spine. I'm happy to oblige on a specialty basis but it is not going to be a standard offering. Hence the need for pre-order.

Nathan, a 90 degree spine has some legitimate purposes. Glad you are considering them. Out of curiosity, why such disdain for them?

It's an unfinished knife. A common element on a cheap knife. A rookie mistake (when unintentional). The only part of a well made knife that should be able to cut you is the edge. Everything else should be chamfered or rounded. Unless it's an intentional feature for throwing sparks from a ferro rod and scraping wood, which perhaps 1% of users might want. As an extremely judgemental knife snob, I see these on other knives and judge. Unless it's a bush craft knife. Then I get it...
