<SOLD>Kephart in 8670 and Mesquite

[John Cahoon]

Hi All, You just don’t see enough Kepharts around these parts so here's another of my tributes to the iconic blade in 1/8" 8670.


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).

Dimensions 10” OAL and 1 3/8” tall, 1 1/8” blade– 5” from tip to scales – Hand sanded to P1200 grit. Edge before sharpening was .012” or so and it is very sharp. Balances behind the front pin.

The scales are Arizona sourced Mesquite sanded to 1200 grit with red G10 liners, 5/32” brass pins and one mosaic pin. 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 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.

Thanks so much for looking! Please feel free to comment, ask anything here or via PM.
