Bush cleaver

[Storm Crow]

Been working on a handful of cleaver commissions since building the zombie meat cleaver for a KITH a while back. This one was shipped last week.



I forgot to take measurements before packing it up, but the blade is in the 13" to 14" range. The steel is 5160, and the integral socket handle is wrapped in hemp cord, with three strand hemp cord Turk's head knots, all impregnated with epoxy.



Kydex sheath with MOLLE locks. The blade is hair-shaving sharp, of course.

That'll work nicely, James!

Looks good, James. Congrats on the Blade mag write up as well.

 

[Storm Crow]

Thank y'all! I measured a similar one I just finished, and the blade length is around 13 1/2".

Jason - Thanks! Some time when it's not so late, I'll put up a thread about the article.

Lycosa - Forthcoming. I hope to be catching up on commissions in September.

Joe - I enjoyed getting to meet you last week and I appreciate the shop tour, knife discussion, and tasty supper! Come by if you're even in San Antonio.
