Big Bad & Blue.....sorry that's the best I could come up with :(

Here's another chopper I recently finished, I forged it from 2'' x 1/4'' "NEW" 5160 flat stock. Which was 3x's hardened and 2x's tempered.

The handle is a black & blue paper micarta , and was actually made by a forum member, I just cant remember who?? feel free to speak up:)

So the specs are 18'' O.A., with a blade thats about 12 1/2'' tip to plunge cut. The blade is flat ground and has a slight convexed edge. The spine has a long clip ground in, it isnt very sharp, but it could be sharpened if someone chose to do so.

The finish is bead blasted, and the scales are polished. Pins are nickle.

I dont use this type of handle material much anymore, though I use to. I see it alot, but to truely get it right both sides should have an identical pattern, which can sometimes be tricky. I think I got them pretty close on this one.

Before finishing I did alot of chopping with this'en, and let me say it was very impressive, when it came to hacking through heavy vines, and brush. This would make a great tool for the hunter , with hunting season around the corner, it would do a hell of a job clearing shooting lanes:)

Price is $275 shipped

thanks

Nice work! This piece would work great for a "head hunter". It looks like it would be a beast in the brush.

i dont have one made, but one could be made available if it will sell the knife. im thinking a real low rid sheath, with a leg lanyard. you can see some of my sheath work on my web page.

thanks all
