In Case You Could Not Tell

The Kephart is my favorite knife!!! Here is one I just finished for Stormstaff. 5" blade of 3/16" O1, with black micarta and stainless pins. Watch out, Jake, this one is almost as big as your new one! (I bet you guys are getting tired of seeing my "photo stump")

That basic looking oak is still one of my favorites, it just looks "right."

I think the micarta makes it a "Tactical Kephart."

Maybe I need an 8" Chopper.....hmmmm

j williams · Sep 7, 2008

And a little wider...

It will be a bad mofo for sure!!!

John you should try making Kephart Choppers with a 9-inch blade. I bet there are a few that will eat it up.

For an 8"-9" chopper, would you need thicker than 3/16" steel?

j williams · Sep 7, 2008

Nah, 3/16 is plenty thick:thumbup:

Are you trying to over compensate for something?
