What is in the works at CPK?

This question recently came up again and I figured it warrants a thread

Basic line 5-in field knife
Basic line Super Duty Field Knife

^ Steel is here, we are decking material on these now.

In the works collaborations include
Lorien Arnold Kukri
Keffeler tanto
Keffeler trench sword
DEK2

Also in the works:
Possible kitchen knife
Micro EDC
Folding all steel field knife
Integral Shiv
Axe
Utility Fighter 2

In process:
DEK1
4" Dagger
K18 sword
Kephart
5" basic line Filed Knife

Currently available:
Field Knife 2
12" Behemother

 

Up coming sales for the next month or three will probably include

Dek1 in D3V and AEBL
Hard Thin Field Knife 2
12" Behemother
K18 blem
Mark's folders
Kephart (starting with AEBL)


The 5" Basic Field Knife will start milling chips in about three weeks

We're finishing up beveling the AEBL Kepharts today. We'll start beveling 3V tomorrow


We're continuing to ship Dek1 and K18 for the pre-orders

 

The SDFK is there but you're right I forgot the UF2. Corrected, thank you.

 

We're going to continue our signature series production here on Blade Forums, but we're also adding some more affordable simplified offerings for distribution on Amazon to gain some exposure to normal people. It's an experiment. I get a lot of complaints from folks about our confusing and frustrating business model, so it's an attempt to address some short comings for people who don't forum good.

 

Solid lineup:
Remainder of the DEK1 (standard and swedged, Delta 3V and AEBL)
Remaining K18 swords (10-20 of them this summer)

Kephart (on machines now)
5" Utility Field Knife (bare bones value priced utility knife for Amazon distribution experiment. Material is here and being decked now)
7" Super Duty Field Knife (utility grade for Amazon distribution experiment. Material is here and will be decked next, to 1/4". This will be a "Busse level" unbreakable knife)

There will be some kind of new Utility Fighter for a new customer. The details are fuzzy but will firm up by summer.

Other projects on the white board that don't have material made yet and/or aren't solid on a schedule:
Lorien's Kukri (90% chance)
Lorien's next DEK project (90% chance)
Some kind of weapon from the twisted mind of Dr. Keffeler (50% chance)
Ninja Swords! (25%)
Axe head (25%)
folder (CPK Folding Field Knife) (90%)
folder (Mark's new folder, Delta 3V, in process now)
Integral Shiv (75%)
Three finger micro EDC (75%)
AEBL Kitchen knife (25%)
Some kind of little dagger made from the Kukri drops (10%)

Knives that are out of production that may return at some point:
HDFK
EDC2-EDC3
10" Chopper

I'm sure I've missed something, but these are the things we're currently moving on.

Also, we're hiring, if anybody is looking....

 

No kidding. When the last K18 pre-order ships I'm taking a week off. We're all stretched a little thin here right now.
