CPM3V Chopper/Machete

[Justin Presson]

I have been working on hanging and mudding drywall in what will be my shop so have not had much time for knifemaking. I did manage to finish this big guy up the other day.This is the biggest knife I have made to date. I originally was going to make it bladesport competition spec knife but ended up going a different direction with it. It is kind of half chopper half machete I think.
17" over all
12" blade
CPM3V steel heat treated by Peters Heat treating
Cowboy Coffee bag micarta from @laidupcomposites
Orange g10 liners
Kydex sheath by me as well, tried something a little different by over laying a different color on top of the black.
Let me know what you think.
Thanks for looking!!

Just missing a battery driven music box playing the American national anthem ...and I guess the knife can only be used in slow motion while fighting terrorists, with explosions in the background.

Thanks guys for the nice comments. It was a fun knife to build and sheath, my hand work on the sheath could use a little work but that was my first time trying that. Water jet would probably be sweet for that.
