The best handle of any knife made

Truly versatile handle - one of the few Fiddlebacks that has enough width across the handle to still work with light gloves in the MT winters. I tend to switch to this one during the colder seasons due to this reason.

As NoRest noted, it is the Kephart model in black canvas micarta.

Just in case in your curious, the bottom pic is a Puuko

Nice piece of pitchwood/fatwood - love that heavy, dark amber color...which means it's a very saturated specimen. A few good fires inside that little stick.

Lady1911 are those keppy scales really that textured or is it an illusion? I’ve only seen smooth scales on the pro series (except for BDB’s mods).

Production scales are textured. Custom Shop knives, which put the Forge's regular handmade scales on a Production S35VN blank, will have smooth scales.

here they are..they are a little exaggerated on this Prototype...but show the concept pretty well

Thanks. While any hike in motorcycle boots is less than thrilling, the end result was pretty amazing. And we left Atlanta at 98F, we arrived in Cruso at 65F staying under 80F the entire time in NC. Mountains rule during a heatwave.

They are very grippy, but not as aggressive as the pictures appear. It's hard to explain. The texture is roughed up enough to keep the knife locked into the hand, but not to the point of digging into skin or anything. These handles definitely make the knife all the more useful....and bulletproof!
