Great Alaskan Recurve

Not quite a kukri, but also not NOT a kukri, this simple, elegant camp knife appears graceful to the eyes but feels stout in the hand.  Because half the handle is made from lightweight carbon fiber the knife has a solid, blade-heavy balance. The blade is my Laminated steel of 410 stainless with a 80CRV2 core, with deeply ground fullers and fully hand-finished.  The handle is satin-finished fossil walrus ivory over carbon fiber with domed nickel silver pins. The sheath is a high-ride dragonskin model. The blade is nearly 12" long with an overall length of 17.5" (Note: if you live outside the U.S., be aware of your country's laws regarding the importation of fossil ivory before ordering.)
