Redesigned Kephart.

The interesting thing, for me, about the Kephart knife is that it was such a simple and useful design. Pretty nice for a 2 dollar knife back in the day.
Now your version Really "kicks it up a notch"...  :OK

Thanks!  When Horace Kephart sent his drawings in to have this knife made his way it was available for 2.50 if I remember correctly with a leather sheath. Then again that was a time when 2.50 was a weeks wages or more. 

To me in it's original form it's a great knife but I find the handle and grip of the knife to be uncomfortable and not have a positive stop when you grasp it. I changed it a little to correct the thing that I didn't like.
