I have owned more than one example of both knives. To me, the Kephart is like the ultimate camp knife. Maybe a jack of all trades and a master of none. And IMO it slices very, very well. In fact, IMO, it's the best substitute for the CPK Potato Knife if you don't already have one of those (I do ).
My advice if you want an FK2 is not to buy a Kephart as a next-best-thing substitute. It isn't. They are both terrific knives, but totally different, IMO. FK2s show up from time to time on the "CPK: Buy, Sell, and Trade" thread here. In fact, I have one I've never used and have thought about offering it there (no promises on that). I'm sure others here have one they might let go at some point (pun: noted).
Whatever you decide . . . good luck!
