I have just started offering these, and this is the first one completed. Obviously a Kephart style knife. There are a few slight differences from the "original" that I have put there because they're changes I like and think they add to the knife. For me, anyway.
The finger guard area is a little larger and smoothed out nicely, so it is very comfortable, I added a sharpening notch, and I went with a full height grind. This one is in 1095 hardened @ 59. It is convex ground, with a convex edge. Scales are held on with stainless Corby bolts, and the lanyard tube is stainless.
The tang is slightly hollow ground to reduce weight. I tend to grind my knives on the thinner side for slicing/cutting performance. They're not too thin, but I like slicers, not cinder-block-batonners, so just keep that in mind when using the knife. I also do custom work, so if you want a variation, just let me know and we'll see what we can do.
Steel: 1095 @59
Blade: 4.5"
Handle: 4.5"
Stock thickness: 1/8"
Handle scales: Bocote
Sheath: 8 oz.
Price: $225 as shown. Dangler can be added for $20 more. $15 for shipping, Priority and insurance included.
Thank you for looking, and if you have any questions please feel free to ask. I reserve the right to choose who I sell to. I take Paypal and Postal Money Orders.
