Firecreekforge.Com Wilderness Classic Knife Handmade Bushcraft Wilderness Survival
My latest hand forged knives are at www.firecreekforge.com
This is the Wilderness Classic. Based on the well known and loved Kephart design, the Wilderness Classic sports a beautiful "heat treat" finish on the blade.
The 1095 high carbon steel blade is flat ground and has a 4.5" cutting edge. The knife is heat treated for edge holding ability and toughness. Blade thickness is 1/8".
The 'Classic' has the efficient and comfortable handle the Kephart design is known for: rounded with no protrusions for a multi-versatile grip and nothing to create a hot spot on the hand during use. The handle scales are secured Loveless bolts and epoxy.
The handle material is available in two thicknesses: approximately 1/4" thick per side, or approximately 3/8" thick per side.
The 1/4" thick handle scales are comfortably rounded and provide a slimmer handle thickness with a somewhat rectangle cross section, as preferred by some.
The 3/8" thick handle scales offer a fuller and more oval handle cross section, for those who like that better.
The Wilderness classic is a 100% hand made from scratch knife, made to be used by the outdoor enthusiast, hunter, craftsman, camper, or anyone who needs a practical, quality cutting tool.
