These 2 don't have maker's marks yet, but I had free time to snap a few pics.
Both have fileworked black and blue G-10 handles- something I haven't done in a while. The fighter is a new design, and this Heavy Dadao was designed with less point and more belly-similar to the bolo knife design.
Heavy Dadao:
5.75" cutting edge, 11" overall, 1.75" wide
3/16" thick A2 @57-59rc; Paul Bos heat treat
balance point at ricasso
Fighter:
4" cutting edge, 9" overall, 1" wide
5/32" thick A2 @57-59rc; Paul Bos heat treat
Balance point at index finger
Thanks for looking!
