Sloopy Handled Camper in O1 and Wenge

[John Cahoon]

Greetings all! Here’s a new Sloopy handled Camper up for your consideration. Hope you like it!

Steel is 5/32” x 1 1/2” in O1 with HT recipe at 60/61. Hand sanded to600 grit for a fine satin finish. The edge was about .012” before sharpening, it balances on the front pin.

Dimensions:10 1/4” OAL, Tip to Scales 5 1/2”

When I saw this handle style long ago I didn’t think too much of it. Until I made one last year and saw how wrong I was. These feel great in the hand. The scales are Wenge with black and toxic green liners/spacers, brass pins, center mosaic. It’s finished to 1200 grit, oiled and waxed.

Priced at $190 to your US door, and of course your satisfaction is my only priority. Paypal, check or MO, and the price includes fees and free shipping in the US.

Thanks so much for looking and please feel free to ask anything here or via PM.

Nice work John!! Great lines on this!

I believe I bought your first sloopy handled knife a couple of years ago. It’s wildly comfortable.

Whoever buys this, you will be blown away by how comfortable this design is. It begs to be held. And of course John Cahoon work is always impeccable.

Wow thanks guys for your kind words. Smiticus , Yes that was the first one. It had more of a clip point with no swedge as I recall.

That looks great John , the wenge and green liners go great together .
