Love the shape of that one, great job !

Looks really nice, however, I'm having a hard time figuring out its use. The thin blade makes it more like a scraper. Can you elaborate on weight and balance?

Hey Eric,
It is for cutting stuff! : )
But seriously I designed it as a chopper, a thin blade cuts through things easier (think machete), thick blade are better for splitting. not that I dont make or like thick blades, this this just the direction I went on this one. It would make a great bowyers blade, chop, cut, scrape, whatever you need it to do!

Thanks, Ben

Thanks Ben,

Guess I’m looking for more of a splitter; cleaver style 1/4” - 5/16” thick Cru Forge V blade.
