REK Ember fixed blade discussion thread

Oooo the trifecta! Quarantine, Ember...what's the name for this one? FK-2020?

 

I thought I had signed up, then I entirely missed the ember. I'm pretty sure I signed up after that... time will tell.

 

Odd question about a petty little detail for you Josh, but for folks who opted for a DLC’d Ember, will the fasteners also be DLC’d to match? Thanks for your time!
Just left this pic in another thread, but thought it belonged here. Beyond happy with this little blade’s performance and ease of carry

 

That’s awesome!! That kind of little thing is often overlooked by so many makers, but I should’ve known by now that you’d have all the details sorted out You rock Josh! You really do put your all into these projects, and it shows.

I’m pocket carrying it tonight (always a pleasure), but have been alternating this past week between pocket carry, and riding it IWB (unnoticeably) while I (deep) pocket pocket carry a shiv by another maker who builds em crazy sharp in an ‘Emerson style’ hook & pull kydex at the same time. I actually cropped it out of 2 of the pics above lol. Even when I have another blade handy, I just can’t put the Ember down. It’s going out for that leather pocket slip I mentioned to you in a couple weeks

Hers’s the uncut shots of my IWB and pocket carry combo of choice these days

 

Thanks man. The waved kydex works great. Carrying & using the Ember (and that shiv) has been so easy and pleasant that I’ve been able to let go of a bunch of my folders recently with zero remorse

 

Good morning Josh, any updates on the Ember preorder? How's it going?

 

Those look awesome!, I like the look of the rough grind.

 

Josh - do you foresee a delay in the DLC ones since you had to find a new supplier?

 

So excited for this run of Embers! My first Ember is still chugging along like a champ. No real sharpening, just a few passes on the sharpmaker rods once and a quick strop, and it’s still laser status. Now it’s riding in pocket, in a leather slip I had made for it, and I’m enjoying it more than ever
