Kephart was an extraordinary man, highly intelligent. There are two biographies about him on Amazon both are about 500 pages. He became an outdoor enthusiast after attempting suicide and recovering from life threatening alcoholism. I love reading his book and he may have been the first ultralight backpacker. Like ur channel fond it by accident

@honorableoutfitters Месяц назад

Thanks for watching and sharing the biographies. It would be awesome to go back in time and share a cup around the campfire with him. Such an intelligent man.

@57WillysCJ Год назад

Besides Mors' try stick for beginners cutting up vegtables and when the skill is there meat is important lessons. Really how many out there these days can't cut up a chicken? That knife being dull out of the box allows you a chance to teach a lesson on sharpening. All great opportunities.👍

@Tracy81258 Год назад

It’s a great little knife for camp chores. It’ll do most of the stuff you need it to do, with the exception of the stuff “bushcrafters” seem to want to force a knife to do these days. CAN it baton? Maybe, but maybe you should use a hatchet instead. Otherwise you’re going to be using the knife exactly as our pioneer ancestors intended their knives to be used, and with probably about the same quality of steel as they had.

@honorableoutfitters Год назад

I really don't like batoning. If I was in an emergency situation I can get it but to do it just so you can doesn't make sense to me

@wizardofahhhs759 Год назад

I bought a regular Old Hickory butcher knife from Ace hardware for $10 bucks and cut it down and modified it myself with a Dremel tool. It works great and it's customized to my own hand.

@honorableoutfitters Год назад

I have heard many people doing that to great success. Is yours a favorite?

@wizardofahhhs759 Год назад

@@honorableoutfitters Yes, I don't go into the woods without it.

@rickc4317 Год назад

Good job on the review and I heartily agree with all of your thoughts. I really like my Kephart knife and carry it camping and hiking regularly. I describe it as a "Jack of all trades and a master of none." Mine's a 4.5" blade made by Matt Lesniewski of ML Knives. I've used it for just about everything, including field dressing and skinning a big cow elk. I don't carry it hunting anymore, there's better shaped blades designed especially for those 2 different tasks that work much more efficiently.

@honorableoutfitters Год назад

Thank you brother!

@jamesellsworth9673 Год назад

You offer a fine practical review here. When I was a scout, many of us thought 'Bigger was Better.' It took me some time to learn that a knife like this, with a good handle and a shorter blade, could do EVERYTHING BETTER. (Well...aside from EASILY slicing up large diameter cuts of meat.) I recommend the knife you demonstrate to any teenage scout. Learn to put a keen edge on it...and you will have a woodcraft friend for many years!

@richardvisneski506 Год назад

Nice review Mr Dyer, I also have the old hickory kitchen knife set but mine is added into a bigger knife block with the “forgecraft hi-carbon” kitchen knives my grandmother had given me 42years ago. I’ve made a kephart style knife out of an old hickory butcher knife; by printing the stock photo of the Becker kephart and then using it as a template for mine and it worked very well. I’ve also made a Nessmuk copy out of an old hickory Buffalo Skinner knife which also turned out well. Keep up the great videos they’re really enjoyable!!!

@honorableoutfitters Год назад

They are awesome! Easy to sharpen and great slicers! Thanks for checking it out.

@AtomicBleach Год назад

I highly recommend you check out the BPS Knives BS2FT. For $30 you get a really excellent sheath with a dangler, a 4.3 inch kephart style blade with a Scandi grind and nice sharp spine. My wife gave me one for Christmas and I've really enjoyed using it.

@honorableoutfitters Год назад

Thank you, I will!

@phillipadams4738 Год назад

I do a lot of bushcraft, this knife I love to use, but I found it lacks for bush crafting. But after sharpening it is my favorite outdoor kitchen knife.

@honorableoutfitters Год назад

I sharpened it and it got a good edge quickly. Do you baton wood with your knives?

@MrRourk 4 месяца назад

Reminds me of the Improved Bowie and Bull Camp Knife

@ssteinschreiber Год назад

Very cool knife. Probably really good for beginners. I have always been found of sheath knives for learners to begin with, especially for its safety, proper handling techniques, and such. But I usually recommend an entry level Mora’s like their craft line. Their cost and durability is great, but usually stuck to a scandi grind.

@honorableoutfitters Год назад

I have nothing against scandi per-se but prefer a V or convex.

@hairlessforestmonkey7186 Год назад

I like my OKC Kephart but still ordered a Condor Kephart to test out, mainly because of that little metal nub and the cheap sheath the OKC has.... I think I'm just slowly taking myself into buying Ka-Bar Kephart.

@honorableoutfitters Год назад

lol, I would like to find someone who has the Ka-Bar to compare my custom Kephart against it...I may just need to ante up and buy it too, lol.

@gregritchie9375 Год назад

Been a fan of Old Hickory all my life. I have been using the Old Hickory Outdoors Fish Fish and Small Game Kephart knife for my camp kitchen since it’s introduction. It will do all I want it to do. It’s a great slicer once you put a keen edge on it, which is easy to do by the way. Just found your channel and subscribed.

@honorableoutfitters Год назад

Thank you brother. It took an edge super well, perfect for out in the field. :)

@leemichel8199 8 месяцев назад

Would be great for any age and experience and expertise. In my opinion ,you get used to whatever grind you use regularly. Its personal preference...God bless you and your family and happy camping 🏕 🙏 😊. Lee

@jenniferbauman4802 Год назад

I would strop the old hickory knife and give it a better 90 degrees spine. And for your knife I would give it a little bit some were on the spine a 90 degrees for striking the fero rod. Great video. Great review. God bless. From Glenn CATT in Massachusetts. Oh you can take apart a bic pen and take a Swiss army knife saw and cut down the middle and put it on the back of the spine and use it for a guide for sharpening. Works great.

@honorableoutfitters Год назад

You just blew my mind brother!

@jenniferbauman4802 Год назад

@@honorableoutfitters ya the pen guide works great for boy scout pocket knife. And will work good with that old hickory. You can leave it on when you strop the blades too . I hope it helps you. GOD bless. From Glenn CATT in Massachusetts.

@stevefisher2121 Год назад

I'd say that's a pretty good knife for the money. Sharpen it up and take care of it and it will most likely last a lifetime.

@honorableoutfitters Год назад

I think so too. I hope my son will get a ton of use out of it

@boskone Год назад

You might check out the BPS Knives Bushcraft Knife. Even just visually it has a few issues: the sheathe has a riveted belt loop, and the blade's scandi-ground. But it's the same price range, it's a smidge longer, and it's got a better handle scale shape, and based on one of the customer videos it throws spark from a ferro rod well. I thought about it, but let myself get, er, overenthusiastic and ordered the Ka-bar. :p It's got a finished and chamfered spine, but I think I'll take a file and flatten and roughen that one of these days.

@honorableoutfitters Год назад

The Ka-Bar one is on my distant wish list. I'll check out BPS, thanks for the suggestion!

@ROE1300 11 месяцев назад

👍 Good fair overview of this knife. I have one and my initial impression was the same as yours. As you point out sharpening to a better edge was easily done. I also applied some Tung Oil to the handle which improved the feel IMHO. The little nub of a finger guard also initially bothered me, but thus far it has caused no problems, agree with you that a little more work on shaping the handle could have made this feature better; if it becomes an issue I will simply file or grind it off. I made my own sheath. At the price point I have found this to be an excellent knife. It does everything I need a knife to do.

@honorableoutfitters 11 месяцев назад

I think your last words sums it up really well, nothing flashy but utilitarian.

@gobigrey9352 Год назад

This is funny so, I was watching your video earlier today thinking to myself I should order this knife just to check it out. While watching your video I heard a thud on my doorstep, it was this knife being delivered. Totally forgot I already ordered it! So I did an unboxing of this knife while watching your video. What are the chances of that 😂. Anyway I'm not real impressed with this knife. The sheath is really cheap, it's got a plastic insert glued in that's already coming apart and catching on the knife. I recently bought a green river hunter knife that I'm practically in love with, so much that I bought a second to put away. There's a sheath you can buy for about 15 bucks for that knife that's actually very nice quality. I bought a second one if those too. You should do a video on that knife if you haven't already, I'll have to check to see.

@honorableoutfitters Год назад

I must have got lucky. I have seen other reviews and their sheaths would not hold the knife as mine did when shaken to death. I want to get a Green River as well for my other son. I have heard good things. Let me know what you think, I would appreciate it! Thank you brother!

@hoobisgreat Год назад

@frankartieta4887 Год назад

I have a hickory almost like that I have a round file in is case I sharpen it with the file It has a special sort of edge If something absolutely positively has to be cut off A edge made by a file is hard to beat Takes but a second to resharpen it too Hard on the knife I admit But is serves its purpose well

@honorableoutfitters Год назад

True brother. Do you use a file on a multitool or use a separate file?

@frankartieta4887 Год назад

@@honorableoutfitters No I am not totally stupid The thing is !!! A relatively inexpensive carbon steel blade and a file You can debone a tyrannosaurus in a matter of minutes Or cut the tires off a automobile You can keep it sharp in a matter of seconds It not a edge you could shave with witout bleeding profusely It is a wicked edge though Great in a emergency survival situation Not a thing for a fine cutting tool such as a boker or similar

@@honorableoutfitters my thoughts exactly. Still do enjoy it quite a bit made a decent patina with vinegar looks very nice but I’m very interested in the kephart you suggest from prairie forge and axe made by quapp. That thing is gorgeous.

@TheRunAndGun10 11 месяцев назад

I love your videos but why didn’t you sharpen it first? No knife can do anything well dull. The test only means something if it does it well or poorly when it’s sharp.

@honorableoutfitters 11 месяцев назад

It was an fresh out of the box review. A quality knife should comes sharpened. Now this particular knife sharpened up easily, which I expected. Time will tell how well it will keep its edge with stropping.

@howardrichburg2398 Год назад

Most knives don't come out of the box really sharp. Would have been a fairer test if you sharpened it first. Otherwise, nice video.

@honorableoutfitters Год назад

I would agree to an extent but my SAKs, Gerbers, and Leathermen all came really sharp. Now these household brands certainly cost more than the $30 Old Hickory. I don't have a new out of the box Mora or Green River to compare it to so I can't say and those would be the ones that come to mind in the same class. I appreciate your feedback and support brother.

@yogibro6442 Год назад

@@honorableoutfitters yea, it looks like a 20$ knife with the materials and construction, that sheath and not being razor sharp out of the box. I was only slightly disappointed with my 10$ Amazon sheath and old hickory 7 inch butcher I put a clip point on for what that cost, the handles were cut uneven. It still cuts after sharpening, just thought it should be slightly cheaper for what you could get annother knife for value wise. If you want slicey, the thin blade slices food better. This shorter blade would be more handy, so meh, good enough I guess. Thanks for the review, I'll check out your other stuff!

@13bravoredleg18 10 месяцев назад

I think the Condor Kephart is a better knife…

@honorableoutfitters 10 месяцев назад

Based on what I have heard and my experience with the OKC I would bet you are right!
