52100 FIeld Soprano Camp/Field Knife **Price Reduction/Re-post**

[Bob Armstrong]

This is my Field Soprano model. The goal was to design a decent size knife w/ enough volume for general utility field use, without it being heavy. The handle's been designed for larger/gloved hands & measures at a stout 5.5" long. The handle's been skeletonized w/out taper. You can still pound w/ this one & the spine's been left at a sharp 90 degrees for firesteel. This design came from a much wider 2.5" stock, the handle has a generous natural curve/bend. This enables more comfort in the grip & helps w/ more precision in batoning tasks. Not that I'd recommend it, but in a pinch, you could even dig with this one because of the wider blade (1.625").


Blade Length: 6.5" (full flat grind)
Overall Length: 12.75"
Steel: 52100 ball bearing (tool steel)
Steel Thickness: 3/16 (oversized @ 2.08")
Handle: Black Micarta
Hardware: 5/16" 416 stainless

Price for the Field Soprano is $165.00 (Black Kydex sheath is included in price, add $20.00 for leather). Currently only accepting Paypal at this time. Payments can be made to: B_Armstrongforever@Hotmail.com

Very nice, some deals to be had on the exchange right now.

Edit: if only buyers unfamiliar with customs knew what they were missing. So much bang for your buck...

Agreed. 52100 is one of my favorite alloys, especially in a knife the size of the Field Soprano. At $165.00 including sheath, somebody is going to score big time!!! :thumbup:

Thanks fellas. 52100 is an excellent steel, perfect balance between stainless & more carbon based steels. Glad we all concur!
