Being a HUGE Horace Kephart fan, I knew he had the style of knife from his books, but only recently discovered that his style of blade has been widely reproduced, and with modern materials such as micarta handles, better steels and such. After I get my Skookum, a Kephart knife is right next on my got-to-have list,preferably from a custom maker ( that ships to Canada !)
I would really like to see pics of your blades, and feedback on how they worked out for you.

Thanks,

Pete
 
Here is John's (JK) version - one of the best out there!

Hiwa - go to the Maker's subforum (see link at top of the page). JK has his own sub-forum in that area.

Great shots everybody....Gossman's looks excellent! There are also the Bark River kephy's too...
 
Thanks for the link. I was just looking at the BRKT Kep's. What an awesome blade.
 
Ray Laconico made this pair for me. I only got them a couple weeks ago so I haven't had a chance to get out for some use.

How do you guys find them for bushcraft work, kitchen stuff, splitting kindling, and anything else ? How's the average weight ? (Most full size ones look to have the same proportions)
 
I really like that ML Kephart. I think that is going to have to go onto my wishlist :eek:
 
Heres my JK Heavy 3/16 Kephart:
which just happens to be a one of the toughest knives I have ever owned!!
