Carolina BBQ Chopper

[nc_cooter]

Haven't had much time for knives in the last few months, but this one was promised a while back. The Fire Department, in a town near by, puts on a BBQ cook off every year and I am donating this chopper as a prise.

It's forged from 1095 and has a curly maple handle. The blade is 10" long and 2 1/4" wide. The OAL is 15". The design is a cross between a slicer and a cleaver.
Thanks for looking.

That thing would be sweet for choppin up pork shoulder for some pulled pork. Cool looking knife! Whoever ends up with that thing will be in a good mood that day

That looks great. Nice hamon, and I like the line that the spine and handle make as they curve up.
