You just don’t see enough Kepharts around these parts so here's another of my tributes to the iconic blade in 1/8" 80CRV2.
I stayed as faithful to the original as I could, including the profile(of course), lightly convexed to the spine and flared front scales. This one has a hint of a leaf shaped blade. In general "everything that needs to be there is, and nothing is there that doesn't need to be" (paraphrased from one of the articles I studied).
Dimensions 10”OAL and 1 1/2” tall, 1 3/16” blade– 4 7/8”from tip to scales – Hand sanded to P600 grit. Edge before sharpening was .01” or so. Balances behind the front pin and weighs a tick under 5oz.
The scales are Chechem for a traditional look. Sanded to 1200 grit with toxic green G10 liners and 5/32” brass pins (mosaic on center). Accented with powdered Red Opalite. The handle feels great in my average size hand and will fill a larger hand as well. The Tracker sheath is a snug fit.
Price is $OLD to your US door, and of course your satisfaction is my only priority. I can accept paypal G&S, check or MO, and the price includes fees and free priority shipping in the US.
Thanks so much for looking! Please feel free to comment, ask anything here or via PM.
