Good Afternoon,
Here is one I made for myself a while back. My shop time has been very limited for the last few months and its been a while since I posted so I pulled this from my collection.
This blade is made from 1/4" 80CRV2 flat ground to 400 grit and finished on an ultra fine scotch brite belt. The handle is made from OD Green G10 and brass.
With the fullers I managed to get the weight down to 18.5 ounces which is good for a 1/4" thick 12" long blade. As a point of reference the ESEE Junglas is 22.5 ounces with a 3/16" thick 10.5" long blade.
The balance point is 3 inches in front of the handle which gives a really nice chopper feel without feeling like it wants to get away from you on a full swing.
For the sheath I did a Baldric design similar to a Roman Gladius sheath and added several more D rings so there are lots of carry options. I took a couple example pictures to give an idea what's possible. Everything is fully ambidextrous, I even did the leather carving on both sides for this one.
Price SOLD , shipping is included to continental United States via USPS. Preferred payment is via paypal.
Blade Steel: 1/4" 80CRV2
Grind: Full Flat
Blade: 12"
Cutting Edge: 11.5"
Handle Material: OD Green G10 and brass
Overall Length: 17 1/2"
Sheath: Leather

Comments are welcome thank you for looking,
