JK kephart and charlieridge EDC...

mtnfolk mike · Aug 26, 2008

thought i would snap some pics for you guys, before i head out of town..

i got this beauty yesterday... it's a kephart, made by John of JK knives... it sports a 3.5 in. O1 blade and some gorgeous curly maple scales... all rounded off by one of john's bomber sheaths..

this thing came wicked sharp.. i was impressed with the edge when i pulled it out of the box...

for you folks that don't have a knife from john yet, i suggest you give the man a call or drop him an email... he's a great guy to deal with... and you can't find a better knife out there, for the price...

thanks again john...

and here's a pic of a cool EDC styled knife, made by Mark W of charlieridge knives.... i scored this one off a fellow forum member...
this knife like all of marks, is also crazy sharp... i really like marks work... he makes some great knives all meant to be used... this is my fourth CR knife...

i love the cord wrapped handle..

cheers.. mike

I`m glad you are happy with that Kephart, it`s becoming my favorite model to make. That cord wrapped CR looks sweet, I`ve got to learn how to do that!

and the overall simplicity of the charlie ridge is sweet.

That Kephart is a great pattern and those beautiful maple handle scales really dress it up.
