Resale. It's too long for me. Only used once.
Bought at Tellknives : 155.- for the knife and 47.- for the sheath.
I regrounded the blade to give it a "scandi-vex" : a convex scandi grind. Arguably the best grind for bushcraft tasks :-D.
I prefer using smaller knives, so I'm selling this one. It is in perfect conditions, almost new.
Made by PKS – Pathfinder Knife Shop in the USA.
Built for bigger tasks and longer days in the field, the PKS Kephart XL is a bold evolution of the classic bushcraft knife. With roots in the iconic design made famous by Horace Kephart, this XL version delivers added size, power, and performance without compromising control.
Made from 1095 high carbon steel with a rugged forged finish and 90-degree spine, the Kephart XL excels at carving, skinning, game processing, batoning, and all-around camp work.
The Scandi grind (13°) provides precision and reliability, while the comfortably contoured barrel-shaped curly maple handle ensures a confident grip in any condition. Each handle features unique natural variations, making every knife one of a kind.
