Oh heck yeah, thanks again for gifting such a great knife William.I have owned both styles and can't say one performed better than the other. To me the straight back version of the Kephart has more "eye appeal" than the standard version. I like wood handles on the Kephart whether standard or straight back because it looks more authentic.
You are more than welcome. I enjoy every pic you post and appreciate knowing the knife has such a great home!Oh heck yeah, thanks again for gifting such a great knife William.
