What`s Your Favorite Style Knife?

I like the Roach belly. Maybe with a little less belly.

 

Straight back kephart is my favorite. I find the asthetics to be most pleasing and they seem to work better for more precise work.

 

I've only got one of these knives, but I love my Neckmuk. Perfect little EDC knife with some cool aesthetics.

 

Nessmuk and Hudson Bay. I can't say why but I just like the look.

 

I think the Roach Belly is about as traditional as you can get. Once you start using one you'll appreciate the versatility. Stout enough for battoning, GREAT for food prep, and a fine enough point for detail work.

Kephart. Love my others, but this one trumps them.

 

I love all of them but lean a bit toward the Hudson Bay.

 

I picked Hudson Bay and Kephart. I couldn't make up my mind. I really like how the Hudson Bay looks. I also like the Kephart since it is just simple looking.

 

Hudson Bay. Good lines and I do like that wide blade with plenty of belly. So I guess it comes down to a combination of certain practical matters and aesthetics.

 

Kephart. I love mine, I just like the blade shape, good all around knife.

 

It has to be the nesmuck for me. It has a point that does all I need one to do and I love the combination of straight and lots of belly.:thumbup:

 

You were making the Kephart long before the economy hit the skids. I don't think there is one of us that wouldn't buy a Hudson Bay if we could part with the bucks.

 

I really like both the Kephart and the SB Kephart, but I voted for the straight back Kephart. I just really like the look of it

 

Out of the knives you make I think that I like the Kephart the best. I just think you nailed it as far as what the "Kephart" knife was combined with nice, simple, flowing lines.

That being said, I do prefer the Nessmuk as an overall knife for a couple reasons. First is I liked Nessmuk's writing more and then I'd have to say that I like the aesthetics of a good Nessmuk. The ones you do are nice but I like a lot of curve on my Nessies and I think Fiddleback nailed it with his large version.

I would like to get the specs on that baby Kephart if you wouldn't mind. I'm liking that guy.

 

I went with the Hudson Bay but if I got one it would be one of the shorter models, not only do I think they look cooler but I would also use a knife that size more so than the full size version !

 

I voted for the Straight Back Kephart, it's most similar to the Slim Hunter I got from you a while back. Just like straight back (or slight drop point) knives, next to a wharncliffe blade shape.

 

I like the Kephart style the most but my 2nd would be a nessie:thumbup:

 

I like the Kephart most because it looks to be the most versatile and better suited to my normal outdoor activities (dayhiking). But the 7" Hudson just looks like a really great camp and food prep knife, love the aesthetics. :thumbup:

ETA: Aw shoot, didn't realize we could select multiple options. I have add a vote to the Hudson Bay then.
