KFU Kephart - $175
Used once or twice for featherstick practice and striking a firesteel with the spine of the blade.
I believe the scales are White Oak Crotch, thick black liners next to thin blue liners, I don't recall the steel, 01 maybe,
it's larger than a traditional kephart, I had not planned on letting this go, but I need to reduce my collection of stuff
Overall - 10"
Blade - 4 3/4"
Handle is 1" thick at the end, and 3/4" thick at the blade
Blade thickness - 1/8"
Grind appears to be convex
Stainless Hardware
There is a slice in the back of the sheath, the leather was a little tight and upon inserting the very sharp knife,
the sheath and two of my fingers were cut.
