This was forged from Aldo 1084 and the blade profile was inspired by Jason Knight's Sooke Mountain Chopper. The handle is bighorn sheep with locally salvaged (and very slaggy) wrought iron. And there is copper, red spacers, file work etc. The total length is 13" with 1/4" spine and distal taper. Flat ground with appleseed edge.

My client asked for the bighorn, file work, red spacers in a big camp knife. The rest was up to me.
