Once a Kephart gets into your hand, I believe you’ll see why this style has stood the test of time. For an outdoor knife with a traditional twist, consider the Lucas Forge Kephart.  The Lucas Forge version adds a subtle play on the original design, giving a little bit more heft to the profile. Today we’re taking a look at the details of this popular model.

The Lucas Forge Kephart measures in at about 9 1/2 inches overall, with a blade about 4 1/2 inches long. It can also be ordered with a 5-inch blade, which gives an overall length of 10 inches.

The blade is constructed out of O-1 high carbon steel that holds a keen edge and if you go for the standard, you’ll get a fine aged finish on it. Or, order something even more customized and choose from a polished satin finish or a textured hammer-forged finish!

The Lucas Forge Kephart looks handsome is a multitude of different handle materials and there are many example pictures on the site for inspiration. Curly maple, such as the example in our post today, is a popular and winning choice! This is paired with three brass pins and a lanyard hole…or you can go deluxe with a mosaic pin upgrade.

A handcrafted leather sheath comes along with each knife, and this model’s also compatible with the Trekker sheath.

This knife has a well-balanced, straightforward style with plenty of size and cutting edge for a wide variety of projects! Check out more Kephart pictures here!
