Ethan Becker's love for the outdoors, knives and the history of outdoorsmen led him to the Kephart knife seen in the video. That and a bit of luck, of course. The exceptional performance of the vintage Kephart he came to own drove him to work with KaBar to have them reproduce it.
I've been fortunate to have handled both this original Kephart and many knives made by talented knifemakers inspired by the outdoors skills book Horace Kephart wrote a hundred years ago and I can attest that KaBar has captured more of the nuances of Kephart's knife than any other manufacturer's knife I've held to date (the handle fasteners are hardly a nuance and don't affect the feel or performance of the knife).
The BK62 Kephart is something that anyone interested in the outdoors or knives should have. If that sounds like an advertisement for the knife, so be it, but I'm enough of a fan of THIS knife that I've actually paid retail for the one on the way to me (and any of my pals knows what a shock that is ;-) )
