Kephart Companion Knife - Heads up !

[pitdog]

Just to give y'all a heads up that Matt of ML knives now makes a Kephart companion knife and it's awesome...very true to the original and even has the fish de-scaler spine !

Cool, thanks for the heads up. I actually made my own without realizing it was so similar to the kephart companion, by just shortening my Old Hickory.

After seeing his site, I'm a bit smitten with this design, incidentally:

Here ya go, great looking blade eh, would make a great little edc !

This is what I call the “kephart fisher”. This design is one of the knives that was carried by Horace Kephart. His fish knife. The design is very handy, compact, strong yet light enough to carry as a neck knife. As all of my knives everything is hand worked, including the Fish scaler at the top, each individual tooth is done by hand.

Here are the specs and info on the knife if you would like to order one.
Total knife length is about 6 7/8″
handle length about 3 3/4″
Blade a little over 3″ long
Spine tang thickness 3/32
Hand worked fish scaler spine.
hand rubbed clean satin finish only on this blade
Handle material (shown below, black walnut,) also can be made in tiger maple, ash, oak, cherry

Pit - those two look really nice. I think a pair of those would pretty much do it. I know I love my BRKT pair.
