A very good copy of Kephart's knife

This one gets high marks for the care taken to duplicate the original in all its subtleties:

Yes, Ethan Becker has an original Kephart knife. One of only two known to be in existence. I am in the process of making a Kephart, and Becker's original is one of the main things I can reference to make the build as accurate as possible.
