KFU Nordic

[raindog101]

Just picked this up, and it's just not for me. It's a great knife, and I've been lusting after a KFU for basically forever. But, I've been eyeballing the BRKT Kephart in 3V (my dream knife), so this one's most likely gonna move on down the line, to scrounge up some cash. Per the previous owner, this one is a "safe queen", but it looks like it's been stropped, and maybe used once or twice. And the original sheath is not included. Previous owner handmade one (which will be included in the sale), and I have a BHK #17 dangler (brand new) that works for it, but you'll have to tack on $30 if you want that one. The asking price is $145, US sales only, and paypal payment preferred. Now, I don't want to necessarily trade this one, but if you have something in the Fallkniven line, or an ESEE 3 and are willing to add cash, or perhaps an ultralight tarp 8x10 or bigger, or even something from the Swamp Rat line (like a Ratmandu), I would consider trading. And even adding cash in the right circumstances. So let me know what fixed blades you got, and we can talk. Here are some photos (from the prior owner, but I haven't used this one, so they accurately represent the knife's condition).[URL=http://s437.photobucket.com/user/raindog101/media/20150124_111039_zpsbo0wez5b.jpg.html][/URL]

So,for those of you who haven't seen one of these before, I guess they were a fairly limited release, and don't come up for sale very often. Chris posted about this one back in 2013: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/1080154-Another-new-one-The-Nordic!-FORUM-SPECIAL

It's curly miribinda scales, Aldo's 1095 steel. Blade ~4.25", handle 4.5". Blade thickness 1/8". Very nice in the hand. A bit handle heavy for my taste, the balance point lies around the second finger.

PM or email for further details or photos. Thanks for looking.
