You are entitled to brag.
Yours (JK) is the first Kephart concept I was exposed to, and is by far one of my favorites still. I'll start by saying I love spear points, and the handle is very comfortable, being plenty long to get a good grip but not too big around to be in the way when riding in a sheath and yet not too slim. Most of the other renditions seem deep in the blade, wide in the handle, or jut out of proportion in general.
Mine have withstood the extreme duty demanded by my lifestyle, as illustrated:
Keeping wieners in order.
Cutting the meat of wild beasts.
Jabbing olives from Kettle Martinis.
All important tasks.
Really, though, this one in olive wood has been my go to lately - no extreme woods time, but it has shashed and trimmed plenty of paths through brambles and light undergrowth, manicured several walking sticks, cut sausages and fruits on day hikes and prepped dinners at home. It is one of the several JK Kepharts I enjoy, ranging from mini to pocket to heavy duty. And come September I'll have one in stainless sans naugahyde sheath, but maybe with some rhinestones embedded into the handles if John can be bribed.
