What a beauty. This minty subhilt fighter was made by Todd Kopp, one of THE BEST makers in the West (or anywhere else for that matter). Todd resides in Arizona and makes top of the line fixed blades like this one. This knife sports an 8 " stainless steel blade with a false top edge out of 1/8" stock. Light, but plenty of blade and FAST in the hand. The top edge could be sharpened VERY EASILY. Nickel silver double guard and sub guard with amber and cocobolo wood handle and a stainless steel cap. Nicely tapered handle. Black leather sheath. This is a georgous knife. Ask for knife J42. I love to trade.
