Preview "Classic Kephart"

JK Knives · Oct 19, 2014

Here is a preview photo of the new Classic Kephart. I ground the blank out this morning. I call this one "new", but it`s actually a more accurate rendition of the knife that Horace Kephart carried.

Specs:
9 3/4" overall
5" blade
1/8" O1 steel
$200 with any standard handle material

I always thought the other you made was close enough, but it's nice to see you going to the original design.
