D3 tool steel chopper 25mm thick with a full reverse tapered blade. If I get to finish it in time I will have it at BLADE to use it.
Thanks for looking.

The finished knife will be reverse taper flat ground, taper tang, rolled edge, the only heavy section will be the front of the blade at 25mm thick, it will weigh around 40% of what you see now.
 
whats wrong, didnt want to use thick stock?:D

that is wickedly awesome right now, i cant wait to see it finished!
 
It took me a minute to realize I was looking at the top of the blade. Dude, WOW.

Don't drop that on your toes... They'll fall through the resulting hole in the floor O.o
 
Hi Farid,

What do you mean by rolled edge? Thank you as always for your time.

That is sick!!:D He means convex I believe same thing as rolled I think, I've been wrong once or twice though:D
 
This was not easy to grind, I taper tanged the other side, here it is after 6 hours of grinding the bevels.

I think a cup of tea is well deserved.
