It has a scratch on the right bevel, and some sanding scratches on the handle.

The dremel tool bumped into it here:

You can kind of see the sanding scratches in the handle:

Hello redsquid2. I'll take this.

We're getting close to the forum jump, so if there are any communication problems, my email is [removed]. If you could let me know when you have that written down, I'll remove it. Just let me know how to get you paid, and I'll follow this up with a PM. Thanks!

David

ETA: Thanks for the PM reply sir. Payment is sent. Cheers.

You will like the feel of this Kephart, I have one and the grip is very comfortable. The mesquite is a nice touch, isn't it a heavier or dense wood?

Yes. It feels heavier to me than walnut. The guy who sold it to me said it had been sitting in the Texas heat for 15 years or more, so I bet it was extra dry.

Just checking in on the 'other side' of the forum jump. Andy was good about staying in touch via email when the comms were down here. Much appreciated sir!

I'm excited to get this pattern in a nice, tough stainless. It's going to earn its keep slicing spuds and peppers in bear camp this spring and fall. Cheers!
 
probably good idea, I have been having difficulty uploading pics from my Ipad. Now I want to get out and use my Keppie from redsquid, in A2.
