Do you think you can spell the author and woodsman's name right in your description? Who proofreads your work? Poorly handled.
How thick is the spine? Is the spine 90 degree grind? Also is it a scandi blade
Does blade taper transversely from middle to both edge and back as an original Kephart does? "A slight sedge at the spine" Is that a typo for swedg?
how much does the knife weigh?

Best Knife that I have ever used!!!!! Just Buy it ...you will not have buyers remorse.

I have had this knife for 5 years and all I can say is that if a knife could speak the knife would say ..."I like wood, so use me!" I would like to see kar-bar produce a exact replica with a 4 inch blade. I would give it a 5+ if I could. The crowned spine is perfect!!!!! Don't change anything!!!!!!

Classic, proven woods knife.

I bought this knife after having read Horace Kephart's book, "Camping and Woodcraft."This knife just works. It's not a knife I would baton with, but slicing and cutting with it is a pleasure.The handle isn't thick, but it fits my medium-large hands very well. It's comfortable.The blade feathersticks very well, and slices off bark effortlessly. Another bonus is that you can grip the blade directly, and the slight hump at the top of the handle comfortably presses the pad of your hand beneath the pinky - providing extra leverage. I've also found the blade superb for scraping fuzz up near the tip of the knife by holding the top of the spine near the tip with my left thumb, and rocking the knife back and forth with the right hand. I have several good knives and none of them handle like this. I think this has to do with the spearpoint style tip, and the fact that the spine is rounded.Basically, this is a finesse knife. I wouldn't go hacking or batoning with this knife, but for feathersticks, notches, camp chores, and I'd bet skinning game - this is a wonderful knife.The blade appears to be slightly thicker that 1/8", but not 3/16". It is a solid blade that I would trust.It is a full tang blade, and is made from 1095 Cro-van steel.The knife is a real looker imho. I judge a knife's looks by how it looks in my hand - and this blade just does it for me in that respect.I doubt anyone that purchases this knife would be anything other than pleased - provided they weren't trying to make it into a one-tool option survival knife. For whittling and camp chores, field dressing game - when paired with either a hatchet/axe, or chopper-style knife like a Becker BK 9, it will do it's job.I'd also recommend picking up a copy of the book (mentioned above) by the man that inspired this knife design.The Lord made heaven and earth, and this is a fine blade to take out cruising in His woods.

Good Knife, But No Longer A Great Price.

When I first bought this knife in 2019 it was about $120, now they want $159 and it was over priced then and has only gotten more expensive, I was going to buy another one for back up, now I'll be looking somewhere else because of the new price increase. there are just better options out there for the $150+ price range.

Overall a really nice knife

I wasn't sure that I would like this knife because the handle scales are pretty thin and I have very large hands.Once I played around with the knife I was very surprised to find that the handle is really comfortable and not the problem that I thought it would be. It just feels really good. I read all of the reviews and yes some people had issues that concerned me. I bought mine from Tomar's Ka-Bar and it was perfect. Grinds were even and I found nothing wrong with it. As a matter of fact I liked this knife so much that I bought two more for a couple of close friends. Both of these were from Tomar's and they were also both perfect.Now you have to understand that these knives are copies of a very old knife and meant to look old also. They are not LT Wrights and they are what they are, a very good copy of an old knife that wasn't perfect either.The handle scales are walnut that have no protective coating on them. I simply took them off of the knife and rubbed them with mineral oil. Makes a nice "finish" for them without taking away from the old look. They lined up perfectly with the tang as long as you do it right. Adjust them as you tighten the allens. All three of the knives I bought were pretty sharp out of the box. I improved the edge as I always do on a knife and they are awesome now. One thing I did was rub the "Stonewash" finish with 2000g paper which smoothed out the finish and then did a hot vinegar patina. I think it actually looks better than before I did that, made it look even older. This knife quickly became my favorite always have with me knife. One last comment. Both of my friends that I gave one of these to also love the knife and carry it all the time.

A wonderful bush knife

The BK-62 is a modern copy of one of the 3 known examples of the Kephart bush knife. It is a wonderful design. The design was developed by Eugene Kephart in the early 1890's. He wanted a simple knife that could basically do everything. Clean fish, prepare game, cut tent stakes, make pot hooks, and more. What I have found is it makes a very good kitchen knife, cutting up whole chickens, chopping vegetables. it does the job of a very good German style petty knife. It is made of 1095CV carbon steel and is about HRC 58 it sharpens easily with a good stone, 1000 to 2000 grit, and holds an edge quit well. The knife as well as it quality leather sheath also a copy of the Original are made in the USA.
