Lol, I know bud. Just making a reference to this gem...








The BladeForums.com 2024 Traditional Knife is ready to order! See this thread for details:
https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/bladeforums-2024-traditional-knife.2003187/
Price is $300 ea (shipped within CONUS). If you live outside the US, I will contact you after your order for extra shipping charges.
Order here: https://www.bladeforums.com/help/2024-traditional/ - Order as many as you like, we have plenty.
visually I prefer it to the standard. functionality not sure it's gonna be better for a kephart design uses....but not sure how wide the clip spine is being left for thickness and strength etc. that's your area of expertise though.l, so I'll trust you on that.OK, horrible pic quality, but prototyping is underway for the Tac-H.A.R.T. (HArd-use Recreational Tool), a more "tactical" version of our Kephart. Why "tactical"? Cause that word sells knives, lol. Amirite?
Anyway, this will feature a swedge on it (clip grind), and may only be available in GunKote finishes. What do you think?

dumb question Sam. if one put a 100 deposit down how's that get applied to ordering on the gear convey site setup?More pics coming soon, but here is a side by side of the Kephart with and without swedge, in black canvas micarta.
These are live on the WEBSITE now, and are shipping later this week. Beautiful leather sheaths only a couple of weeks out.

gotcha, thank ya Sir. I'm gonna wait til the orders slow down....if that's okay? don't care about being first. rather see all the options available than be a first.jbmonkey Not a dumb question at all, my friend. Due to limitations on the website software, the process isn't quite as streamlined as I would have liked. But there are two ways to do it, both perfectly acceptable.
So far, most have just been ordering what they want and pay for it, and then we refund the difference if they paid a deposit already. Or, you can tell me what you would like and I will just send you an invoice, minus the amount of your deposit. It is entirely fine either way, and makes no difference to me.

oh and BTW, these are looking great. well done, Sir.
These really look great, Sam. Nice work!!
