Had to use my War Cleaver for its intended purpose

[SSonnentag]

Just my way of saying, "Hi!" to a fellow ARFCOM member. Hey, who made the knife for you anyway? I really like it.

Doh! I see it in the OP now.

 

[halromberg]

I posted it there too, and even managed to refrain from MS paint and blading at 45 comments. FBO!

 

[wnease]

gotta love blades that double as armour-plate! what's the handle made of?

 

[Gadgetaholic]

MAN I love Philipene cooking, and the UDT has now had it's first real workout. Still shaving sharp BTW, Bones, Meat, the wooden table under it....The UDT cares not. Thanks Matt!

Meat, fire, dangerous knife - if there was alcohol involved as well then it sounds like a good day!

 

[untamed]

That is one BIG mother-humping blade! I like it!

Philippine barbeque (inihaw)? Adobo? LOL! Good taste in knives as well in food! :thumbup:

 

[Flatlander1963]

Good Story!
I was having trouble seeing the sheath and handle so I lightened the picture up for you. Nice Rig!

 

[kvaughn]

You found PORK in Iraq?!--

 

[Gear]

My question is how do you carry the knife?

 

[Cotherion]

That is an awesome blade. I would kill to have that steel by my side. How much did it went for?

 

[Splat]

Glad to hear the only "heating up" in your situation was the BBQ! :thumbup:

I can neither confirm nor deny the presence or use of any intoxicating liquids, although I could definitely use a refill on my mouthwash. I still can't figure out how they got it to taste so much like Aberlour.

The pic definitely looks better lightened up that way. For scale, that flashlight is an inch and a half in diameter. The handle fills the hand in a serious way. It's Black Micarta with a Zombie Apocalypse ready cord cut texturing.

I'm embarassed to say how much I dropped on it, but Matt's prices are on his site. It carries like a backpack but a touch off center so the point is at the left shoulder and the handle just behind the right kidney. With a 5:11 vest on it disappears completely. The shock value when you pull it out is.....Well, let's just say most people take a couple steps back.

Awesome blade but how did you resist ordering a bowie?

 

[halromberg]

This should show the carry method a bit better.

And now, a goofy shaving pic.

Pic of pork inbound. We can buy it at the PX here in Iraq. Bennies of being a crusading occupier. ;-)

Resist? Why? I got the Bowie a couple years ago.

That whole setup is freakin' awesome. Do you know the blade thickness?

 

[halromberg]

Dimensions 21x3.5x.25 Any thicker would be excessive. (As if everything about it isn't already excessive)

 

[cziv]

Very impressive cleaver halromberg! :thumbup:

I love a happy ending

Yeah me too, usually you pay double for that.
