Sliwkosky Knives Kephart Knife | Elmax | Convex Grind | Green Canvas Micarta is a knife that draws on the philosophy of camping, Horace Sowers Kephart, an American popularizer of spending time in nature, who lived at the beginning of the 20th century. Kephart is a knife with a fairly simple structure and a nicely profiled blade. Particularly noteworthy in its construction is the type of grind made on the blade, the so-called: "convex grind". It is a cut that facilitates splitting or baring the wood. In combination with the Sleipner steel used in the knife, known for its resistance to chipping and resistance to overload, a durable and universal tool for the forest has been created.
