It's not often that I get a chance to own the work of another custom knife maker, but I got the opportunity recently. When I posted my last cleaver, Ben Tendick said he'd like to get one at some point. I had actually forged another cleaver at the same time as the one I posted that I had forgotten to stamp my touchmark on, something that almost never happens. I offered a trade for one of his knives, and he agreed.

The cleaver is 5160 and paracord, and the belt knife is L6 and curly maple.



I think we're both happy with the trade. :)
 
Sweet Cleaver!

I need one of those!

I have a little Cord Wrapped knife from him in L6.
 
The cleavers seem to have caught on with folks since I started making them. I have several commissions for them waiting for me to work my way to them. :)

Ben does good work; that's some clean grinding.
 
Thank y'all!

Lycosa - I'll try not to. I can't think of another time that I did that off hand. (Now watch me forget five in a row!)
