This is a combination of Lon's coveted Brute de Forge Kephart with Crucible's CPM-3V tool steel, providing massive amounts of toughness and edge holding for this iconic design. Lon also sharpened the upper portion of the spine to allow for easier striking of a firesteel.
Lon Humphrey is a blade smith. He crafts his knives the old-fashioned way -- hands, heat, hammer and anvil. It's appropriate, then, that one of the knives that's helped build Lon's growing reputation is associated with iconic woodsman Horace Kephart.
Lon Humphrey's Custom Kephart is as close as you can get these days to the blade carried by Horace Kephart
This particular example boasts a forge finished 4.5" 3V blade with black micarta scales and blue liners. Overall a good looking and very versatile tool.
