Big forged chopper aka Big-Azz Knife

[NickWheeler]

Hi Guys


I've got a great big chopper.


It was forged from 6150 round bar, has machine finished bevels, hand sanded flats/spine/choil, radiused spine & choil, 416 ss guard with satin finish, and sculpted black G10 handle (hand finished to 1500X for a bit of shine without being slick).

It's pretty darn big---

OAL- 16-1/2"
Blade- 11-1/16"L x 2-3/16"W x 0.315" thick at the guard.


---SOLD---


Thanks for looking!

I wish I had more time to redo this video. It took WAY too long to get though the 2X because of how I had it set-up--- lots of wasted energy. But it still shows a little bit of cutting,so here 'ya go. BTW- @1 min into it, I realized I cut through a nail... oops, LOL

This one is wicked cool Nick. The short double guard, and that thick rounded spine are really neat touches. :thumbup:

Thanks guys

I'm not left-handed, I shot the video with a mirror.





Actually, being left-handed is one of the things that pushed me to be so particular about symmetry. If the knife feels "right" in my hand and is as symmetrical as I can make it, then it should feel "right" to a backwards... er, um, I mean right handed person.



Thanks folks.
