Knife #11 Kephart Graduation Gift

[JPA88]

My knife making has slowed a bit with the onset of spring, but I finishes one the other day and just wanted to share it. This is graduation gift for my little Bro.
Kephart style
6.75" OAL
1084
Osage Orange
I might have to make one for myself, it seems like a good size to just stick in your pocket while out poking around.

That's what I like to see in a gift knife....a solid, well made user. I am sure he will treasure and use it for a long time.

Nice job - great gift for sure.

Gifts from the heart and hands are the best kind. I hope he'll treasure it.

Thanks, Guys. I gave it to him this weekend and he really seemed to like it. It is true, people show more appreciation for a handmade gift. Much more personal.

That would be a nice gift if you bought it for him - 10 times better since you made it.

You wiped the blood off first right?........

 

[JPA88]

Ha! Fortunately this one wasn't part of the great bloodbath of 2015.

 

[Brian.Evans]

Lol. Well, I can definitely attest, the others were SHARP!

Nice looking knife. I've made one with osage orange and it was a gift. A Christmas present to my wife's uncle. That was 2 years ago.
