Camp Knife

[J. Hoover]

This one is SOLD PF, thanks for looking
Here is a good size camp blade or chopper. Shaving sharp and ready for work. Sheath is made from 11-12 ounce vegetable tanned leather with a swivel loop for easy carrying. I made this knife with a lot of handle for two reasons, the first being that it is a big heavy knife and I feel that a good grip is needed. The second so that a man or woman could drop back on the handle for added leverage when chopping up some wood for the fire.

What JGKelly said, have you weighed it? Curious. The whole package speaks Solid Quality.
