Backstory:

Mike Obenauf is famous knife maker Kit Carson's son-in-law and its easily see how much their work is alike.

Kit taught Mike the right way to make knives. Allowing Mike to use his shop and tools, Mike quickly became a master craftsman.

It has stunning handwork, is incredible smooth, solid & tight, and feels great in hand.

SOLD (fyi - price was $500)

The shape of the blade looks like it would work good to scrape a battery terminal. :o

Fine looking knife for sure. ;D
