The Kephart is made from the 7" Butcher Knife. One needs to use a Dremel with a metal-cutting saw blade. Then employ a belt sander to reshape the blade (I saw it done on you tube). After it's been reshaped to the desired form the handle needs to be sanded down to a slimmer profile.

It's quite a bit of work.

Is it any wonder they work so well? Really?
