D3 chopper

[farid.]

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.

That is SICK! :thumbup:

 

[Heiheit]

Hot DAMN that is one thick blade.

 

[farid.]

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.

Don't drop that on your toes... They'll fall through the resulting hole in the floor

[Camber]

I should have,
6 hours of grinding on a Sunday, have to put my feet up,

 

[farid.]

This was not easy to grind, I taper tanged the other side, here it is after 6 hours of grinding the bevels.

Here it is after heat-treating.

I think a cup of tea is well deserved.
