This is a hearty outdoor knife with great cutting geometry and balance . *For the last year I have been working with Kephart style blades of different sizes and handles and this is the one!**Not only is the glow in the dark C-TEC make it nearly imposable to lose, but the distinctive handle has a comfortable palm swell and curves in all the right places while staying true to it’s name sake. The 5/32” CPM 145 blade is strong and dependable while requiring minimal maintenance. the hight Convex grind give you a blade that is nimble in the hand, and will slice like a razor..

This is a new pattern and is the final evolution of my “companion blades” that started with the side kick and has improved and evolved over the last few years. Every one who has picked one up has tried to first buy and then steel these from me. They still have the light wight and nimble feel of my earlier models, but are slightly bigger (1/4” longer) and have a bit more belly lending to the razor like slicing geometry that I like so much. The most notable improvement is the handle. The shape contours melt into your hand locking the knife in so that it moves as an extension of your hand. The exposed lanyard hole lets the lanyard rest below the surface of the handle preventing it from interfering with your grip.
SOLD $225.00 SOLD includes green lanyard and kydex sheath free shipping in lower 48

I have not been using it long, the prototypes have tested extremely well. Because of the high polish and the translucence these they will show scratches. I balanced this with the value of the hight visibility. If things ever get ugly I offer free spa treatments (clean up and remaking) on all my blades. I will also fix or replace any of my knives free of charge (prying with a knife will void this).
