I've had this one for a couple weeks now,but was a little reluctant to use it much because it's so darned pretty!!!
4 inches of 01 steel with cocobolo handle slabs in a good lookin' sheath is what I'm talkin' about,but today it was time to get it dirty.
Had some chunks of fatwood lying around that needed to be cut into more usable pieces so the JK & a Rucksack got the job.
Here they are sitting on my outdoor workbench:
Split the pieces lengthwise without a hitch:
Used the spine to get some fatwood fuzz;
Fine enough to light with a firesteel:
After splitting a bag full of fatwood,the Kephart would still get the wood to curl:
This knife is just the right combination of size & weight for me
It held its edge real well & was very comfortable to use.
After bringing it inside & cleaning the fatwood gunk off of it,I inspected the edge & it still looked fine & seemed as sharp as it was before I used it.
It's not QUITE as pretty as it was before now,but it's still a good lookin' blade!
