I am absolutely bonkers over this kephart! I have never been drawn to pointy knives and didn't even think I would ever get a kephart. I ended up buying this knife because I was drawn in by the overall beauty of it. That being said, it has become my favorite fiddleback to date! I just love using this thing. It was ground to perfection. It is so sharp and just chews through wood. It feels very good doing full grip work as well as more controlled single and double thumb pushes. The tip is incredible for doing fine detail work. Sometimes when I use a knife I think, if this were an inch shorter or a little thicker, etc. I have never had any doubts about this knife (well maybe once when my hand was sweaty I had a few thoughts about a shadetree burlap handle :) ).

In general, I can't say enough how much I enjoy using this knife!

...I did also just receive a scandi arete that also performs out of this world, but that is for a future post....

Out of all your fiddle backs, what is your favorite user? Don't forget to throw in some pics if you can!

That's a beauty, I haven't had the pleasure of a kephart yet, but I feel the same way about the KEB. It just sits right with me. Just ordered one from KSF today.

Thanks emoney and congrats on the KEB! If you get the time, you should post a picture of it when it comes.

Man I love that Kephart. My best user is my CPM154 Asp.

Thanks Duder. I have never held the Asp, but I can tell just by looking at it that I would really like it. I could definitely see how it would be a great all around user and easy to carry.
 
I will Hasco! It's 1/8 01, maroon micarta over natural with white pin stripe....my favorite user combination! Can't wait to get my mits on it!
 
at the moment I'm totally in love with my TT bushraptor. I love the extra bit of blade that it has over the HB and its soo soo versatile. There isnt much that I dont feel i can do with it.
 
Full height 5/32" convex S35VN Bushfinger.


Been using it a lot and it is very good at almost everything. Not the prettiest of my Fiddlebacks, but so good.

It even has an ugly sheath ;)
 
This is the coolest thread, but I change my mind daily! LOL. I really enjoy seeing everyone's favorites!

I know what you mean as it hard to pic a favorite.

It is really cool to hear what other people are using and it is also dangerous. I don't own as asp or bushraptor and to hear that folks are loving them makes me think I need to add them to my list. This thread might end up getting me in more trouble than I already am. :eek:
 
Sometimes most capable all round user isn't the same as favorite.. I think my favorites is this Camp/Ladyfinger combo:


Most treasured one is this:
