Field Cleaver

mcswood · May 17, 2009

Just finished this today.
I made this as a site clearing tool easy to pack or carry.
The blade and tang are 1075-80 spring steel. the pommel and bolster sides are mild. The sharpened edge is 5.5/8" and it's 11" overall.
The scales are fancy quilted maple 5" long.
I went with all rivits on this sheath for the look. The beltloop holds it high on the hip with the handle hanging down. At a standing position the pommel is at right at your hand.
The hole in the blade is a finger pull to lift it from it's sheath.
This is the 1st. of 3 that I'm doing.
This one just listed on ebay. Hopefully it was worth making.

Thanks for looking,
Mike

That is maybe the coolest sharp object you have made. It looks great.

Thanks for the compliments.
I always list cutting tools on ebay under the heading of
"handmade fighting bowie knife" and then / cleaver, trapper, etc.
This way someone looking for a bowie might decide they really needed a cleaver

.
Glad you like it,
Mike
