Hi folks -

I was pleased to find my beautiful Kentucky Fieldmate March Special with Neck Sheath when I arrived home last night. Thanks to Stomper and ky turkey for a great design and execution.

I had some other work to do last night, so I could not play with it, but tonight I got it out and took some pictures (not the best), and did some measuring and weighing so I could post here.

The blade is 2.71"/69mm long, and .89"/22.6mm tall.
The handle is 3.38"/86.0mm long, .79"/20.0mm thick tapering to .54"/13mm at it's narrowest.

The blade is .095"/2.42mm thick.

The knife weighs in at 2.4oz/66gr.

On to the pictures -

Stomper's typical beautiful fit and finish, and I chose the neck sheath option.

I have been ordering my knives with red liners, as I think that accentuates the burl handle scales:

Here is a size comparison with a CRK Small Sebenza 21, I think the Kentucky Fieldmate holds it's own in a beauty contest even with a beautiful knife like the CRK.

Thanks again, ky turkey, and Stomper for a great design, at a great price.

I look forward to using this one, I can tell this will be a favorite knife to have with me in the woods.

Mggn,

Once again, your pictures are awesome! That "KY Fieldmate" is a fantastic design and the burl handle scales are beautiful....:thumbup::thumbup:
 
Thanks guys -

This design is very nice, I like the finger-groove design in a smaller knife so you get a better grip on the smaller handle.

I can tell this one will be a favorite.

best regards -
