Greetings everyone! Here’s a medium sized bull nose camper/light chopper ready to cut. This one can go through just about any camp chore. I hope you like it.

Steel .195” 440C professional HT 59/60 hand sanded to 2000 grit for a highly reflective finish.

Edge before sharpening was .015” or so and the blade glides through phone book paper, leather, rope etc. The upper bevel is near sharp starting about 2.5” back from the tip. Balances at the front pin.

Dimensions: 9 7/8” OAL, Tip to Scales 5 1/2” Width 1 15/16”

Chechem/leopardwood dovetail scales sanded to 1200 grit with stainless pins. The handle just locks in my hand but there is a tiny misalignment under the finger choil, best I can measure it about 1/32”. You can see it in the 4th photo. Hand finished with multiple coats of Danish oil and carnauba wax. Lined and dyed sheath, wet molded for a snug fit.

Was $165 now asking only SOLD. I accept paypal, check or MO, including fees and free shipping in the US. Thanks so much for looking and please feel free to ask anything here or via PM.

Wow, that's nice. It's not flashy, but you know it's just waiting for a tough job to get done.
 
Hi K kemikos thanks for your kind words. You are right about that. It's a very clean finish but you wouldn't be heartbroken if it got a scratch in hard use. Kind a like my old bronco, it just means it's getting used for the intended purpose! That's my goal.
 
You know, I was trying to figure out what it reminded me of, and I think I got it. It looks like a ruggedized chef's knife; like something Cookie would hang off his belt while he wrangled the chuck wagon...
 
Hi K kemikos , ha, and if any cowpokes complain about the chow, well it's on them..... really though I think it would be pretty versatile on those long drives to Dodge City. Hey S Seesteel , thanks for your kind compliment, much appreciated.
 
I give. I'll take it. If you want, you can send a PayPal invoice to kemikos(at)gmail.com, otherwise I'll need your address.
 
Hi K kemikos , it is yours sir. Thanks a ton, my paypal is jwccustom57 at gmail dot com. I'll try to get it out USPS tomorrow morning and email you a tracking #
 
Sorry it took so long. I didn't get home until much later than I expected due to the apparent onset of Fimbulwinter...

Anyway, payment sent.
