Brisa Camper Knife Kit

Brisa Camper Knife Kit with Sheath

This is one of the most complete kits we have, now in a new form with Flat Grind N690 steel.

This kit consists of 

• High quality Brisa Camper 125 blade (5" blade)
• Handle Scales, already shaped in 3D in micarta or curly birch
• Red spacer material, going between the handle scales and the blade
• Brass corby bolts with pre-drilled holes in the scales
• Leather sheath, in thick Spanish leather

The Camper blade from Brisa is a larger blade with great edge geometry for cutting and penetration. The longest blade in the Finnish Brisa family, a camp-knife or general bushcraft knife.

The blade is 3.6 mm thick, 26 mm wide and has about 125 mm of blade. Total length is 245 mm including handle.

The blade is in N690Co, a strong stainless steel with good edge retention qualities and excellent corrosion resistance.

The handle scales are in canvas micarta, a man made material popular for not being affected by moisture with a warm feel in the hand. Can be left rough for extra grip or polished to a high luster.  Or in curly birch, an attractive pale/yellow wood with good grain figure.

The leather "bushcrafter" sheath is in rich, thick Spanish leather and holds the knife tightly by friction alone. 

This high-quality kit is 80% completed. 

Work required is to glue on the scales to the blade using Epoxy glue. In some kits the red spacer material is already glued to the scales, and in some kits this come as a loose item. If it comes loose in your kit, drill holes for the bolts and glue the spacer material to the handle scales. When the glue is dry, the spacer material can be cut to fit the handle scales using a sharp knife or file.

Securely screw down the Corby bolts, then file or grind off the bolt heads sticking above the handle scales.

Then sand the scales and finish them with oil, dye, wax or similar to seal them for improved durability. 

The leather sheath is ready to use, in thick, Spanish oxe hide but can be wet shaped around the handle if desired.
