Kaper - A funny way to spell "caper". Indeed this knife is a knife that will work very well as a caping knife. It is also an excellent Gentleman's Hunting knife, that is a knife small in size but large in capabilities. The 3-1/8" upswept blade is AUS-8 at 57-59 Rc. Cocobolo scales and a leather sheath. The overall length is 7-1/4" and the weight 2.0 oz. Made in Japan. Good design, good steel, good name, GREAT price.
