    I really like how this one turned out… a nicely balanced, lightweight chopper. Hand forged, distil taper, fast, flexible and sharp!

    Material – 5160
    Thickness – Distil taper. 1/8” tip, 3/16" at ricasso, 3/32” at end of tang.
    Bevel – Flat with a convex secondary bevel
    Blade length – 10” cutting edge, 10 5/8" incl. ricasso.
    Blade width – 2" at widest, 1” at ricasso.
    OA length – 16 1/2".
    Handle – 3/4 tang, Hickory (sealed w/ tung oil), 6 1/4" long, brass hollow pins, leather cord wrap (epoxy sealed), leather thong lanyard.
    Finish – Rough forge finish with gun blue.
    Sheath – 10oz vegetable tan, baldric style carry, ambidextrous, tooled, hand stitched, copper rivets, hot dipped in beeswax/linseed mixture.



    It'll be a couple days before I get it up on my site...
    Thanks for looking,
    Rick

    Wow! That whole package is great
