Quite interesting - an original 'kephart' model seen at blade. The blade being thickest in hte centre of the blade didn't surprise me as much as the swell at the front of the handle. I have never seen anyone do that on a replica, myself included. I guess on the photo of the catalogue it's not that obvious.

Very interesting, thanks for sharing. That knife is an excellent example of minimalist design in that there is nothing there that doesn't need to be there, yet it has some nice subtle details that are easily missed. Now I want to make one....
