I decided to pay a visit to Larry Brahms of BladeArt.com to pick up a little something and shoot the bull. What I didn't have in mind was an impulse buy.
That is until I saw and felt this great camp knife by master smith Murray Carter.
Like Murray's other "Muteki" knives, this one is made using san mai construction, sandwiching Hitachi White #1 steel between outer layers of 410 stainless steel.
The distally tapered blade is 7" long and is ridiculously sharp as any who have handled a Carter knife can attest to.
What made this knife "necessary", however, was the feel and balance of the piece. It is amazing. Light, quick and addictive. I have rarely held a knife that feels so good in the hand.
The scales are cocobolo.
The knife comes with a nice, traditional style leather sheath.
Haven't had a chance to do more than admire and polish this wonderful blade, but thought some of you might appreciate seeing it.
