This is a remake of one of the original Kephart knife.
below is the information supplied by Bark River Knife and Tool:
Horace Kephart was born in 1862 in Pennsylvania. He went on
to achieve success in two careers. Trained as a librarian, Kephart achieved
national recognition during his years as director of the Mercantile Library in
St. Louis, Missouri, from 1890 to 1903.
From 1904 forward Kephart turned from City Life and dedicated his activities to
become one of the First and most Famous American Naturalists.
Kephart Devoted His Life to the Outdoors and was
instrumental in establishing The Great Smokey Mountain National Park.
The part of his Legacy that has influenced most Modern Bushcrafters--"The Book
Of Camping and Woodcraft" was printed in 1916.
He also Wrote over a hundred articles on the outdoors between 1890 to 1931
Here are some of the Publications that printed his works.
Forest & Stream Magazine - Magazine of American History - Harper's New Monthly
Magazine - Cassier's Magazine - Outing Magazine - The Republic Magazine - Guns,
Ammunition, and Tackle Magazine - New England Magazine - Sports Afield - Arms
and the Man Magazine -Rochester Democrat and Chronicle - Sporting Firearms
Magazine - All Outdoors Magazine - Motor Life Magazine - Field and Stream
Magazine - The American Rifleman - Flynn's Magazine.
This Quote is almost Gospel of the modern American Bushcraft Enthusiast.
“Your thoroughbred camper likes not the attentions of a landlord, nor will he
suffer himself to be rooted to the soil by cares of ownership or lease. It is
not possession of the land, but of the landscape, that enjoys; and as for that,
all the wild parts of the earth are his, by a title that carries with it no
obligation but that he shall not desecrate nor lay them waste.
Kephart was very specific about his Outdoor Gear. his personal "Go-To" Field
knife had it's roots in the Earlier Dadley Pattern with the Addition of a Self
Guard.
The knife was duplicated and was offered for sale by Colclesser Brothers of
Eldorado Pa.
Here is a cut of one of the Vintage Ads.
The Bark River Kephart is Based on the 4 inch blade version of this Famous
knife. The Spear Point Design is the Basis for the modern Bushcraft knife that
has become the World Standard in "Wilderness living" Pattern Knives.
Here is the Top View of our Full Tang Kephart.
Weight varies but is just under 6
ounces.
Each knife comes with a brown sheath as pictured and you
can see both sides! Great all around very simple design!
