Hi All, You don’t see too many Kepharts around here much anymore. Here's another of my tributes to the iconic blade in 1/8" 8670. When I first started these someone asked about a 4” blade (can’t recall who) and this is my first in that smaller size.
I stayed somewhat faithful to the original, including the profile (of course), lightly convexed to the spine and flared front scales. In general "everything that needs to be there is, and nothing is there that doesn't need to be" (paraphrased from one of the articles I studied).
Oh, I took liberties, adding powdered turquoise accents, blue G10 liners and an improved "Tracker" sheath (the original sheath is just plain dangerous by today's standards). Hope you like it!
Dimensions 9 1/8” OAL and 1 3/8” tall, 1 1/8” blade– 4 1/4” from tip to scales – Hand sanded to P1200 grit. Edge before sharpening was .012” or so and it is very sharp. Balances on the front turquoise dot.
The scales are Bubinga and are sanded to 1200 grit with 5/32” brass pins. The handle feels great in my average size hand and will fill a larger hand as well. Sheath is a snug fit with great retention even without the strap yet easy to deploy.
Priced at only <SOLD> to your US door, and of course your satisfaction is my only priority. I can accept paypal G&S, check or MO, and the price includes fees and free priority shipping in the US.
