Ok, so here are a few fantasic blades I just got from John. His EWOK (Essential Work and Outdoor Knife), Budget Hunter, and one we collaborated on together.

First up, the EWOK with Cocabolo. 3 7/16" blade. I love the size of this knife. It is perfect for an edc or even a large necker.

Next, John's brand new Budget Hunter! Let me tell you this knife fits my hand like a glove, and has a great contoured handle in oak. I think this is going to be one of my new favorites, the upswept convexed blade is begging for some hard use!

and last but not least, our collaboration. This is a result of John's post asking about everyone's preferred Kephart blade length. After reading the responces John was getting and agreeing with most of them I emailed John with my thoughts and after quite a few emails back and forth we came up with this. I suggested a full sized "chopped" kephart, where the handle was full size (or very close to it) with a shorted full height blade. John kindly let me name it, so I decided to call it the CB Kephart. It is 6" OA with a 2 1/2" blade and 3 1/2" handle of Zebrawood.
 
oh yeah...pics....oops. Let me tell you how good this thing feels in the hands it is a little beast!

Again I apologize for being so pic heavy. John makes some great knives and I think they deserves some good pics! Group shot with my pocket kephat sneaking in there.

Those are some stunning pictures. They all look like great knives with remarkable F&F. Of the three you posted, the EWOK really speaks to me.
 
The EWOK wins for best blade name ever.
The budget hunter was a great idea and it looks awesome, great knives and pics all around.
 
Might I add ALL are quite reasonably priced. In my opinion for the money spent the quality of Johns work is exceptional. I don't mean to sound like an advertisment here, I just like getting the word out on a good thing. Not that most of you guys don't already know!

You 'aint kiddin' about the name! It really is fitting. I think it could easily become a term do describe a certain type of knife. Like an EDC or PSK yeah check out my new EWOK! hahahaha (sounds like something you would hear at a star wars convention) You better copyright that name John! :D
 
VERY nice photos of some awesome knives. I really like your choices of blade styles and handle materials.

Yes the Kephart is a beast of a little knife, I can't wait to get it dirty! SO comfortable to handle as well.
 
I don't know if I got a good enough look, how about a close up or two:rolleyes::D

I like the convex on the budget blade:thumbup:
