Kent Draper, the late son of the late, great Harvey Draper.....both died tragically years ago, a true loss to the custom knife scene. :(

I've had this for quite a while but these are the first pictures...

15 1/4" OAL with a 10" blade of 1/4" stainless stock that I would guess is either ATS42 or 440C. The guard is stainless as are the scale pins and thong hole. The sub-hilt is integral and the scales are green Micarta.

The main hollow is mirror-polished with the rest of the blade/guard finely bead-blasted....the clip is sharpened, too. What makes this knife so 'lively' is the full distal-tapper of the spine and the deep hollow-grinds.

That's a great piece and from a really talented maker, Like father, like son
 
bought in the 90s hate to sell but cant justify keeping it as I no longer collect things that I dont use.
 
I have had questions about Kents passing that are unanswered or are rumor I wish I could have met Kent or his father I envy any one who has.

Do you have a price in mind? I'm not sure but I think the one like yours pictured above is the one I used to own. I regret selling it years ago. The gentleman that bought it was a good friend of Kent, so I wouldn't think of asking him to part with it. It's called the "#1 Outback". Please let me know. Thank you....Don
