Just finished this one up :) A large size Kephart pattern with cocobolo scales! I used similar shaping of the scales as found on the originals so that the guard swells a bit on three sides of the handle. Also I tapered the tang to reduce weight. This one is right at 10 ounces. 5 1/8in blade tip to handle and just a hair over 10in overall. I used .200 thick 5160 for the blade. Price is $215 ***sold***shipped in the US for the knife alone. I can make a Kydex sheath for $25 extra but I kinda think this needs some leather which I do not offer.

There was an original Kephart at the Oregon Knife Collectors Show in Eugene, OR, which Bill got to hold and see just how the original handle was made and how good it felt. Looks like he has done a great job with this one. John
