Greetings fellow knifeknuts and Happy New Year!! Here’s my newest iteration of the Kaibab Kommando. The Kaibab Plateau is north of the Grand Canyon, Arizona, a very isolated region with limited accessibility (real mountain man country).
52100- Dimensions - 5/32”x 12 5/8”” OAL and 7 3/4” from tip to guard and the height is 1 1/2”. Hand sanded to 600 grit for a clean satin finish. Paul Bos Heat Treat to 60/61. The edge was about .015” before sharpening. The spine is well rounded for a comfortable thumb, the deep swedge can be sharpened and it flares at the tip for extra strength. Balances on the front spacer.
The handle features a blued steel guard with comfortable access to the spine. Bocote with red and black spacers set off the elk handle and sculpted blued pommel. The handle is finished with multiple coats danish oil and carnauba wax. The handle feels fine in my average size hand but might not be so good for a smaller hand.
The premium dangler sheath features my custom Standing Bear carving. He’s been hibernating for a couple of years, just woke up, he’s lookin’ at you and he’s HONGRY,...nom,nom,nom.
It’s $265 to your US door, and of course your satisfaction is my only priority. I can accept paypal, check or MO, and the price includes fees and free shipping in the US.
Thanks so much for looking! Please feel free to comment, ask anything here or via PM.
