New Low Price: Kephart in AEB-L and Canvas Micarta

[redsquid2]

Here is the Kephart:

Steel: AEB-L
Heat Treat: Paul Bos
Hardness: 61
Blade Length: 4 3/16"
Overall length: 8 5/8"
Spine Thickness: .136"

Handle: brass pins and tube, micarta, G-Flex epoxy
Sheath: cow hide and synthetic thread. It has a cam built into the welt, which keeps the knife securly sheathed.

Cosemetic Flaws: the sheath has a stain on the back, and the right side bevel has a light scratch about 2" from the tip and about 1/4" from the cutting edge. The plunge lines and spines could be prettier. The bevels are not identical, by which I mean they look slightly different at the top of the bevel where it meets the flat part. I tried to capture the flaws in the pictures so you know what you are getting.

Was asking $85, now $72, which includes Priority Shipping anywhere in the USA. The first unconditional "I'll take it" gets it.

Thank you, jfk. I forgot to mention the sheath has a cam built into the welt, which keeps the knife securly sheathed.

Is the top kephart conxex ground, or is it a flat grind with a secondary v-edge?

The grind is as flat as I could get it, with my skills and tools. I don't use a jig: I grind freehanded.

By "secondary edge," if you mean the cutting edge, it is as close to a V as I can get while sharpening freehanded, which is how I sharpen all of my edges.

Thank you for showing interest.
