Kempf means champion, master at arms.

Testimonials

I've been carrying a knife every day since I was 10 (30 years!) and the valid point I bought from Ethan is my favorite knife by far.

Dave Brown

I've used one of Ethan's Tomahawks to literally cut a tree in half.

Alex Anderson

My favorite kitchen knife i've ever had. I use it every day. It's substantially sharper than any knife i've used before.
