Darlington Edgecraft Kermit the Kephart - Crosscut Espresso Paper Micarta - Orange Red Natural Liners

Nitro-V Fixed Blade with Micarta Handles

The Kermit is a compact Kephart-pattern fixed blade from Darlington Edgecraft, a maker known for hand-finished traditional working knives. Its small size and classic profile suit bushcraft tasks, camp chores, and everyday carry for those who like a piece of American craftsmanship in hand.

Blade

The 2.5" blade is made from Nitro-V steel with a hammered finish. Nitro-V is a fine-grained stainless steel that offers strong corrosion resistance along with good edge retention, making it well suited to a smaller working blade that sees moisture and food prep. At 0.09375" thick, the blade stays nimble for detail work while retaining enough strength for general use. The Kephart shape carries a classic drop point profile prized for its versatility.

Handle

The handle is crosscut espresso paper Micarta with orange-red natural liners. Micarta is a resin-impregnated composite, traditionally made from layered paper or canvas, valued for its durability and stable grip even when wet. The crosscut pattern shows the layered construction as texture, and the colored liners add a distinct visual accent between scale and tang. At just 2.86oz, this knife carries light.

Carry

This is a fixed blade, built on a solid tang for reliability. It ships with a leather sheath sized for the knife's compact dimensions, allowing for simple belt carry.

Made in the USA.
