The Gunny is my favorite. The Necker comes standard with G10 so I made it my first attempt to make scales myself. Let's say I learned a lot 😉

NKD. The 4" Kephart will relieve the more thick and outdoorsy Tundra and Bravo 1 from kitchen duty.

I can't measure it rn, but these are the specs:
Overall Length: 8.85in/22.479cm
Blade Length: 4.25in/10.79cm
Blade Thickness: .093in/2.36mm
Blade Steel: CPM 3V@ 60 RC
Weight: 4oz

I think there is a barkie that's thinner, but that's still pretty good.

Very nice, kobold.

I like comparing knives to my Mora Kansbol, because I think it's just a fantastic value knife. In my eyes, "a better Kansbol" is very high praise for a knife.

My Gunny Hunter LT is my current favorite "better Kansbol," but the 4" Kephart looks even better.

Thanks! Had to look up the specs of the Kansbol, and sure enough, they are pretty close.
This knife is a touch smaller than what I imagined it will be, but feels nice and agile in the hand.

Probably looked at a thousand Bark River Knives, a Kephart in 3V would be the one, very nice!

DLT has a Magnacut Kitchen Knife available for preorder. I just put mine in, hopefully we’ll see it the year.

https://www.dlttrading.com/bark-river-w ... -pre-order

I ordered a Squad Leader II 3V over a year ago and still haven’t heard anything.

My pre-order for the Kephart was placed in April, received it now, in January.
The BR FB group might know how deep the Squad Leader is in the factory queue.
