YESSSSSS!!!!! NICE ONE CHRIS!!!!! It's gonna hafta wait until after Christmas, BUT....We'll be Talkin'!!!!!!!! I hope you still have some of that Satinwood left over!!!!!!

The New Owner of this one should be a VERY HAPPY Camper!!!:thumbup:
 
Thanks SB, I have plenty of Satinwood. In fact I haven't even used any of it yet. I want to do one with it to see how it turns out. No more orders until after Christmas so I might just knock another Keppie out with Satinwood.
 
That looks awesome Chris. I would like to see someone do this knife with a smaller companion, kinda like BHK does with the Bushcrafter. That one is a beauty. It needs a little brother. :)
 
Now that my friends (besides Miss December) is something that will make you need to dab the corners of your mouth with your hankerchief . . . . :D :D
You can almost smell next summer's campfire already and this beauty right there with you . . . .
Excellent design Chris, the point of that knife is just begging to be used to make some fire drill blocks . . . . . :thumbup:
Great design, great work . . .
Be safe.
 
That thing is a beast. I'd bet it could turn a few BeckerHeads. Lol.
 
Very nice! What are the specs? I'm guessing 5.5 - 6" blade with 5" handle and around 3/16" thick.
 
I am glad you guys like it, I will be using it as soon as it arrives to complete some Bushcraft Class requirements, I'll post pics and probably a video.
Chris has been awesome, I have had some input on this beauty and I am honored to have been involved. Thanks Chris!!!!

Excellent Collaboration Congratulations is in order then!!!!! It's a Beauty Chris and MW!!!!:thumbup:
 
Thanks SB but it's all Chris,
I suggested the wood and the liners
but left the final decision to him, He is
obviously a talented artist!!

Thanks guys. It was a pleasure working with you MW! What kind of sheath do ya"ll think would work best? Im sorta thinking a square bottom dangler with no straps for horizontal carry since its a bigger knife. Oh, I think its 5" handle and 4 3/4 blade of 5/32" stock

The pleasure has been all mine Chris, You've been doing all the work!!:)
I think you are right on the money with a Dangler, Bottom shape does not matter to me though square is traditional bushcraft, And I would definitely add a Firesteel Loop for a 3/8" Firesteel.
 
Yeah,I think you got the Kephart down Chris.Great looking' knife.
White Oak Crotch for the scales?Looks very familiar.

Congrats Joseph,I'm sure you're going to enjoy it.

Thanks Mykel,
It was your KFU Hunter pic that made my jaw drop,
I usually prefer darker woods but that oak is breathtaking!!!
