Condor Tool and Knife Compact Kephart Fixed Blade Walnut 2.6in Drop Point CTK3936257

The Condor Tool & Knife Compact Kephart is a refined fixed blade that pays tribute to one of the most iconic bushcraft designs in American history. Inspired by the legendary Horace Kephart and his renowned wilderness tool, this modern reinterpretation retains the original’s functionality while reducing the profile for greater portability. Compact and dependable, it’s built for outdoor enthusiasts who appreciate classic styling and practical performance in a more carry-friendly size.

At the core of the Compact Kephart is a 2.6-inch drop point blade made from 1095 high carbon steel, known for its superior edge retention, ease of sharpening, and reliability under tough field use. The blade features a polished finish that not only enhances corrosion resistance but also showcases the high carbon steel’s natural luster. Its robust full-tang construction ensures strength from tip to pommel, providing consistent performance through rigorous EDC and bushcraft tasks.

The handle is crafted from smooth walnut, secured with double brass rivets for a traditional, hand-finished look. A lanyard hole offers added carry options or security during use. Despite its compact size—only 5.6 inches overall and weighing just 3.5 ounces—the handle offers excellent ergonomics, delivering a secure three-finger grip for precision control during carving, food prep, and other campsite chores.

Designed with versatility in mind, the Compact Kephart is equally suited for neck carry, belt attachment, or as a backup survival knife. Its lightweight profile and handcrafted welted leather sheath make it a practical addition to any outdoor kit, whether you’re heading into the backcountry or prepping gear for daily utility. Its minimalist design and functional edge geometry make it a reliable companion for anyone seeking an efficient cutting tool without unnecessary bulk.

The Condor Compact Kephart is ideal for those who value heritage-inspired craftsmanship blended with modern usability. Whether you're making feather sticks, slicing trail snacks, or tackling light carving tasks, this knife performs with quiet confidence.
