Looks like you could take out a redwood with that thing.

Nice work.:thumbup:

Wow! That looks great! I would be curious about spine thickness and overall weight.

Great job!

thanks all, not sure on exact wieght, but its a handfull. It was forged from stock that is between 1/4" and 5/16" thick. There is not alot of distill taper, only tapering from about the clip area forward.

It cuts very well, that much I know.
