I realized I haven't shown many of my recent knives. I've been dabbling in kitchenware and that's often not very photogenic. However recently I've decided I want to go through and make some of the great knives throughout history, naturally I started with a Kephart design.
Here's the original:
Here's mine:
Here are the specs:
Blade Length: 3.75"
Handle Length: 4.75"
Overall: 8.5"
Handle Material: Micarta
Steel: 1084
Steel Finish: Forced Patina
Grind: Flat
It's not perfect though, there are a few cosmetic defects that I am sure are glaringly obvious to you professional machinists, knife-makers, and enthusiasts. However I am still just doing it for a hobby and have a long way to go. As far as my next historical piece, I am thinking either a nessmuk or a leuku.
Let me know what you think!
