Looking for some feedback on a new model I plan on adding to my line. Would this be something you guys might use in the woods?

This is simply called the Model 6.

Specs:

Overall Length: 8"
Blade Length: 3 7/8"
Thickness: 1/8"
Steel: O1
Handle: Teak with hollow aluminum pins



 
That looks like a Kephart style to me . Still one of the most handy style knives for bushcraft out there !

A good knife that many would use as it's light to carry and great around camp . Looks good JK :thumbup:

Absolutely. Woods, home, public. Looks like a great edc and woods blade.
 
That's a winner JK. Great size and lines. What about offering it in 3/32 as well as 1/8? What are you thinking about for price?

I will offer it in 3/32" also. As for price, I don`t want to say here, but it will be one of 6 knives for sale on my forum this coming Thursday.

Can`t go wrong with a Kephart.

 
Handy looking knife. Not the type of thing I go for but effective looking nevertheless.

For my personal taste I think you miss a trick by not having a chamfer on those hollow pins. Regardless of anything else I would always pass on a knife that doesn't have that, factory or handmade. It's an irritant that has precluded several rather natty little Boker offerings over the last couple of years. Distal taper and tapered tangs I can judge on a case by case basis, but I will not move on this. I know it's a tiny thing yet compared to the rest of the build so easy to do, and very conspicuous when absent. All else being equal, I think it instantly lifts a knife from one class to another.

I hope you take this in the spirit in which I intend it. :)

Good idea, and easily done, thanks!
 
John, that is a good looking blade. Based on my experience with your knives, it should be a good performer as well. I really like the natural wood handle, instead of the usual Micarta or G10.
I'd not mind owning that at all. :)
