That’s weird man, I’ve had no issues and I only have a yahoo email too. Wonder if it’s a weird isolated issue? Anyways, one of the guys sold off his collection, a LC, HDFK, FK2, K18, DEF, Bootdagger, it was epic.

I guess I’m in it now. Just purchased my second one before even receiving my first one. Kephart in 3v on the way. Sliding down the slippery slope, I am. :O

I think you'll really like that Kephart. I enjoy the heck out of mine.

Nice to see you guys picking up some

I've had my Field Knife for about a year and a half now, and I'm very fond of it, but it's too much knife for my EDC uses, so it only gets used when I make a point of carrying it, or for camping. I'm hoping the Dek1 fits into my EDC rotation better.

I'd been looking at Kepharts for a while now, and that one just lined up.

So now I'm at three...I'm trying to avoid sliding all the way down the slippery slope and ordering a Behemother. ;)

I may have gotten the last Kephart from their site as I no longer see them listed. No site updates this time either. ;)

It took me awhile to get over the looks of the Kephart and almost missed out on them. I had to apply the Spyderco thought process on them, "judge them not by their looks, but by their performance". :face monocle

It is indeed slippery! I’ve tried to limit myself to no more than 1 of the models I like, but failed on a couple, sort of. Besides the DEK1, I’d recommend the EDC/EDC2 if you run across one for sale. Fantastic ergos.

The Keppie is a classic pattern. I’d meant to pick one up from other makers for years, but just got my first from CPK this year. It’s one I found I liked better than I thought I would.

Here’s an EDC2…~3 1/4” blade:

The Utility Field Knife (FK2) is up on their site now. This is the thin stock, high hardness version. I wish I had the $$, but after the last two I'm out. 🥵

Beautiful LC @murphjd25!

Just a heads up because I thought the same thing when these were first offered…the hard thin FK2 is actually the same stock thickness. It’s just thinner behind the edge. It’s 1 point harder than the standard. They’re both good cutters!

You can see it in the narrower edge bevel.
Hard Thin on the left, Standard (but swedged) on the right:
