Just finished this one up 
A large size Kephart pattern with cocobolo scales! I used similar shaping of the scales as found on the originals so that the guard swells a bit on three sides of the handle. Also I tapered the tang to reduce weight. This one is right at 10 ounces. 5 1/8in blade tip to handle and just a hair over 10in overall. I used .200 thick 5160 for the blade.
