A couple of users

Here are a couple users I recently finished

First one is a customer sketched Kephart design.
I forged it from 1095, clay coated the spine using satanite and did a full quench in Parks #50. A very light vinegar etch revealed a beautiful Hamon that I didn't capture in any of the posted images. She's scaled with WSSI stabilized, chroma-brown Birdseye Maple w/red liner & finished with a 4-1/4" B.L.

Next one is my ever popular GUS Camp Knife
Steel is CPM3V, with a soldered & pinned 416 stainless guard, Desert Ironwood w/red liner on a tapered tang. This one has a 7" B.L.

Thanks for taking a look guys. I hope you like them :unsure:

Nice knives. That has to be one of the nicest interpretations of the Kephart I've seen yet.

I am absolutely in love with that Kephart. Everything about it is stunning. The knife is a 100 point perfect job. Do you mind me asking what price you sold it for? I'd love to have you make me one too. Feel free to PM me and we can talk offline.
