You have to credit Scott Gossman for bringing back the old classic Bushcrafter.

Here are a couple choices.

I've never handled any of them but the short bladed ML ones has always really intrigued me. :thumbup:

Gotta be Gossman !

Anyone got pics of a gossman?

The ML is my favorite. But I think that might change when I get my JK.

The Kephart is my all time favorite knife, I wish I could own them all. We all have that one design that speaks to us, and this is mine. If there could only be one, it would be a keppy for me, hands down.

Dave Beck did. PJ. Tomes does.

Crumps forge makes a sweet one too.

When you ordered, did they give you an idea of turnaround time?

I've been looking at Kepharts, too. I was looking at ML's as well as the one Muskrat Man offers. MM's orders are fairly quick at 7-8 weeks and I like his interpretation of the blade shape and he will convex it (which I think would be interesting), but I haven't asked him if it is a full tang. Can't tell from the pic on his site.
