Greetings, Earthlings!
Check out this chopper!
Please find me on Instagram at bmoodybladeworx
I've made several of these and everyone that has one loves it! I also made one for myself and one for my woman. One thing in common with them is that no one uses the sheath, because it's to big to wear around camp or when out hiking. Most often they are strapped to a pack. My woman has a big thick rubber band to keep the belt loop out of the way and she just carries it around. So this is not a sheath, it is a blade holder. Hand stitched, tooled and wet formed 8-9 oz leather. If you want a belt loop added, let me know and I'll add it for you.
OK, onto the knife.
Ground from 3/16" 1095 and heat treated in my digital kiln with clay to a hardness of 60. I do 4 thermal cycles to refine the grain, because I feel it adds greatly to edge retension and the activity in the hamon.
OAL of 14&1/4"
8&3/4" tip to scale
2&3/4" at the widest point
The handle is black/metal flake/pearl composite held on with epoxy, 1/8" stainless tubing and pins and a 1/4" piece of stainless tubing for a lanyard.
I am asking $350 shipped ConUS for this and my paypal is bmoody123456 at gmail
Questions and comments are welcomed and thanks for looking!
