Bearthedog: First picture, far right, what is that paracord wrapped deal? Specs? Thanks!

Review is missing
Try:3 3/4 x 1 1/4"
It is wide to cross grain deep into green wood. My regular one has a thickness of 3/32". The strength of a knife isn't just the thickness of the spine, but the width of a blade too.
Hey, but what do I know? It cuts good!

Well, I agree-I do prefer wide blades as well. Lots of reasons in addition to strength-For controlled, two handed carving, a wide blade gives you more leverage when pushing with a second thumb, prying on the meat between your thumb and forefinger, etc. Wider blade gives you more room for a good belly, and I think the extra weight helps a bit with precision/control. Nice design. I think I might have one done in 5 inches.
I have a 2.25 inch wide 3/16ths blade at 6 inches long from Dylan Fletcher-the Hatchula II. I wanted a slightly stretched out Hatchula and he decided to make an entirely new model. It's a beast of a blade for sure. The RAZOR is a heck of a blade though!
