Bark River Kephart Fixed Blade Knife 3V Burgundy Canvas BA08124MBU

Built for hard use and honest work, the Bark River Kephart Fixed Blade Knife in CPM 3V with burgundy canvas micarta carries forward a classic frontier design with modern materials that don’t flinch under pressure. Inspired by Horace Kephart’s legendary woods knife, this blade is meant to live on your belt and earn its keep whether you’re deep in the backcountry or handling daily camp chores.

At the heart of this knife is a 5.25" drop point blade crafted from CPM 3V tool steel, a steel known for its exceptional toughness and resistance to chipping. It’s a steel chosen by professionals who’d rather beat on a blade than baby it. The satin finish keeps glare down while giving the knife a clean, workmanlike look that fits its purpose. A convex grind runs edge to spine, delivering excellent edge strength and smooth cutting performance through wood, hide, and cordage. It bites deep, sharpens easily, and holds an edge when lesser steels start to roll.

The full tang construction provides confidence you can feel the moment you put it to work. There’s no flex, no weak points, just solid steel running the length of the knife for strength you can trust. At 10" overall and weighing just 5.9 ounces, the Kephart strikes a balance between capability and carry comfort, making it easy to wear all day without fatigue.

The burgundy canvas micarta handle offers a secure, warm grip in any condition. Canvas micarta excels when wet, cold, or dirty, and the contoured shape fills the hand naturally without hotspots. The rich burgundy color adds a subtle touch of refinement while still looking right at home in the woods. A lanyard hole at the rear gives you added security or carry options when needed.

Completing the package is a high-quality leather belt loop sheath that keeps the knife protected and ready. It rides comfortably on the belt, deploys smoothly, and complements the knife’s traditional roots.

The Bark River Kephart isn’t flashy, and it doesn’t pretend to be. It’s a serious fixed blade built for people who rely on their gear and expect it to perform every time.
