The **KA-BAR BK62 Kephart** is a modern version of the classic Kephart bushcraft knife, designed by Ethan Becker of Becker Knife & Tool. Becker fans call the BK62 the 'Beckhart'. This model is based on one of the original Kephart knives from over 100 years ago. These knives were forged by hand. Many modern versions of the Kephart model are based on one original knife that is now on display in a museum. Becker, however, managed to find an original knife that hadn't been sharpened hundreds of times. Closer to the original shape. The BK62 is your chance to get even closer to the original knife. 

 The blade is made from stonewashed 1095-carbon steel. It is not corrosion-resistant, just like the original. It's very easy to sharpen. The 'swedge' on the spine of the tip is a real eye catcher. Even better is the way the tang of the blade (the part in the handle) tapers. This reduces the total weight which makes the KA-BAR BK62 Kephart easy to use. The tang is surrounded by a walnut wood handle. Very ergonomic in all its simplicity. Even without looking you know how you need to hold the handle.

 What makes the Beckhart really remarkable is the thin grind of the blade. As such it works efficiently. The scales are attached with firm bolts.

 The KA-BAR BK62 comes with a solid leather sheath in which the knife is properly secured.

Nog niet kunnen gebruiken maar op eerste zicht zijn de ergo's en gewicht/balans heel goed. De afwerking is wat op z'n Amerikaans, de prijs ook...

This is beutiful knife with a character. However not as practical as it looks. Handle, grips get easily soaked with water and like start rotting in 2 days. Steel rusting unless you dry wipe it after every use. Too expensive and not hard enough for simple full tang knife.

Très beau couteau très polyvalent convient également comme couteau de survie
Dommage qu'il ne se vende pas de plaquettes de rechange en autre matière plus résistante que du bois 

Mooi om dit mes met zo’n mooie historie te gebruiken. Mooie kwaliteit en simpele materialen. Goed scherp zo uit de doos. 
Enige nadeel is de hoge prijs. 

Vom Konzept ein tolles Messer und genau das, was ich lange gesucht habe.
Leider lässt die Verarbeitung zu wünschen ünrig und ist typisch amerikanische eher hemdsärmlig. Spalte zwischen den Griffschalen, leicht unsymmetrisch und der Plastikeinsatz in der Scheide zerkratzt die Klinge und ist außerdem an der Schneidenseite offen und damit sinnfrei. Zum Glück kann man das Plastigdings einfach entfernen und dann passt's auch wieder.
Insgesamt für das Gebotene zu teuer.

General information

We always measure the blade height at the highest part of the blade.

Blade height

We always measure the blade length ourselves. This is the length of the blade from the tip to the front of the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade length

We always measure the blade thickness at the thickest part of the blade. Often just before the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade thickness

value_handle_length

We always weigh a product as bare as possible. Knives and axes always without their sheath, lights (if possible) without their battery. For knife sets we measure the entire weight. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specifications.

Weight

Dimensions & weight

value_steel_hardness

The hardness in Rockwell C for a knife is always according to the manufacturer's specifications. When a manufacturer specifies a value of 56-58HRC, for instance, we always note the highest value, i.e. 58HRC.

knife_best_use

We like to highlight what use the manufacturer had in mind, or what we believe the knife is suited for

Best use

This concerns the type of edge [Want to learn more about a serrated versus a plain edge](/en/ct/pocket-knives-difference-plain-edge-serrated.htm)?

Type of edge

molle_compatible

MOLLE is a mounting system that allows you to attach sheaths and other accessories to backpacks. With this specification we indicate whether a product is already MOLLE-compatible by default. [Want to learn more MOLLE](/en/ct/what-is-molle.htm)?

MOLLE-compatible

We measure the sharpening angle ourselves. This value is the angle per side.  So 20º means that the total angle of the edge is 40º. Please note that knives are almost always sharpened by hand, even in factories. This value is therefore only an indication of a single tool measured by us. You are always free to choose your own sharpening angle. [Learn more about sharpening angles](/en/ct/sharpening-angles-explained.htm).

Sharpening angle

In terms of grind we are talking about how the complete blade thickness extends into the edge. Want to learn more about grinds? [Read all about grinds on knives](/en/ct/knife-grinds.htm).
