Got a sweet "little" Camp/Chopper here in 1/4in 5160. Scales are green canvas Micarta with yellow G10 liners. Sheath is black Kydex and will include a belt loop. Overall it is 13 3/8in. The blade is 7 15/16in tip to handle. This is a nice comfy 16oz. The blade has been used for some test cuts and has some slight cosmetic wear so I have reduced the price to $325 OBRO shipped in the US.
Large Bowie/Chopper in 1/4in thick 5160 and Macassar Ebony scales with stainless pins. Sheath is black Kydex. 11in blade and 16in overall. By tapering the blade and drilling out the tang, I managed to get the weight down to 18 ounces on this big blade! Price is $400 OBRO shipped in the US.

I used 1/4in thick 5160 for the blade and green canvas Micarta for the scales. Sheath is black Kydex. 13in overall with an 8 1/8in blade tip to handle. Weight is a nice 15oz. Very easy to handle but still a capable chopper. Clip is not ground/sharpened. The blade is about 1 3/4in wide. Price is $350 OBRO shipped in the US.
