Choil has been rounded and polished none of the hard edge typically part of a KU finish

A rare special piece from Mr Burke
3.5 inch blade made

Brass bolster
Sheep horn handle with black horned sheep spacers and brass, perfect first and finish, every bit is perfectly rounded.
Comes with Burke's 14 oz waxed harness leather pouch style sheath, fits like a glove and rock-solid - the craftsmanship on both knife and sheat is perfection
The blade is as good as a new and collector' item but also rock solid. I just don't use anymore and best for someone who hopefully uses it
