Here are a couple new ones Im working while waiting for a couple orders to finish H/T. I have been wanting to do a Kephart for awhile now and the other is just a funky little knife I came up with. Its reeeeeally comfy in hand! The Kephart is 5" handle 4 3/4" blade 1 1/4" wide. I had to do it in 5/32" stock because I didn't have any 1/8" wide enough and the smaller one is 4 1/4" handle 3 1/4" blade. Both are full convex grinds.

Kephart is going to be sweet. That bottom one does look comfortable.
 
Yeah, the bottom one is kinda weird. I wanted to do one that felt most comfortable to me. Its kinda a Nessie with a drop point and small palm swell...kinda!
 
Oh I will be doing more of them, it seems alot of people like Kepharts. I need to see if my sheaths will fit it first, I might have to get some universal sheaths with a square bottom.
 
Cool beans Chris,lookin' forward to seeing the Kephart finished.
That little one looks familiar,love the thumb ramp.
I ground out this little knife a couple of months ago from a band saw blade.Fairly similar eh?
Allmost like you read my mind.:eek:
I figured it would be a good emergency blade/spearpoint to keep in the BOB.
Yours looks like it would be very comfortable to use.
The Kephart is for sure a comfy design.
So,what are you going to do for scales?

Nice one Mykel! It is super comfy, kinda like LILs funky EDC knife.

As for scales, I wanna do something older looking. Im thinking Walnut, curly maple, or something spalted, although, I did just get some Osage last night!

Are they done yet? :D Really looking forward to seeing that Kephart finished.
 
HaHa! Ive got one more to profile out and grind. Ill H/T them tomorrow. I have to work all week so I won't have a whole lot of time for knives. I need to do handles for two orders and Ill be all caught up!

I don't want excuses, just results. :D Hurry up, dammit! :D
 
Looks like I need to make a pattern! I wanna get some 1/8" stock thats 1 1/2" wide so I can make some thinner ones too.
 
That Kephart is sweet, but I still love the drop points. Probably around February, we need to talk Chris. Me needs a bushcrafter. With Christmas coming up, and an anniversary in January, yep, February it is. :D
 
Nice designs Chris. The Kephart is definitely growing on me but I think I see one of those funky EDC's in my future bro.
