The Kepharts are a full tang design, so the compass is right out unless attached via a lanyard; I was mixing up my outdoorsy guys; but yeah, if you did a Bradford Angier with a black Micarta handle, finger-grooves, NS guard, lanyard hole, and compass, you'd have a big seller. Here's the thing though, so pay real close attention - use a seven spacer stack at the guard, not five spacers, and your sales will likely double. In the Randall world, 7 spacers = pre '72. It's kind of a really big deal...
If you decide to do a revised BA, take the name, basic design, add your own twist to the blade grind and sheath (and sheath pocket contents), and you'd have a ready-made market. The important things are blade thumb notches, NS hilt, and black Micarta handle with finger grooves lanyard and compass - those are all the hallmarks of a BA. The blade grind shown above was straight-up RMK, and has little to do with a 'Bradford Angier' knife other than blade length. 6" is good, 5" is OK, 5.5" is mo bettah. Hope that helps...
ps. If I was a knife maker, and I'm not, but if I was and wanted to make knives I'd be proud of (and know would sell), I'd look back. So many makers these days are trying to be 'different', making something new out of man's oldest tool, and that's hard, hard to the point that it almost comes down to a cult of personality-like following, moths to a candle. This doesn't need to be the path.
Traditionals have a huge following, simpler knives for simpler times and all that. So, if I was a knife maker (again), I'd look for an untapped, nostalgic market, and tap the f*** out of it. Classic's like a modern Kephart or Bradford Angier are right up that alley. Add some 'notable quotes', reference a book or story, some vintage background photos, stay true to the original concept, and market variations of the original wheel - that would sell.
Add one, and only one, alternative handle material, such as yellow or natural (root beer colored) Micarta handle material as a 'limited', special order, and you'd be golden in short order. Sell the sizzle, not the steak. Besides, your knives are off-the-charts already, quality wise - I'd wager most past customers would step up again.
p.p.s I like quality fruitcake. If you pursue this idea and it works, pm for my shipping address...
