Well, maybe the healthy part works. Did you hear about the bladesmith who won the ten million dollar lottery? He says he will keep making knives until it is all gone.

I am sorry that I missed that.........Just out of curiosity- how wide/thick is that handle?

It's gone, Bill so I can't measure it but it was forged from 1/4 inch stock so it would be close to 1/4 inch at the spine: the only forging I do along the spine near the handle is to texture. The stock was 1 3/4 inch deep so I would guess that the finished knife was just over 2 inches deep.
Thanks for your interest.

Yeah, thanks! I'm stoked to try this one out. Not much of a "big ol' chopper" kinda guy, but I'm a sucker for forge scale left on the blade and for something undervalued (IMO) like this blade.

Really looking forward to chopping cinder blocks and steel t-posts with it (ha!).

I'll be happy to give it a thorough measurement when it comes. I'll keep you posted.
 
Thanks Skinny. I am a Bolo fan and this one looks a bit like some I have had... maybe a clip point bolo golok drop on the handle.

Very good looking knife.

The knife came last week and is gorgeous. It looks and feels perfect in hand. Thanks for a great transaction.
