Heavy knife

[tohubohu]

Hello everyone,

I wanted to show I knife I just delivered to a customer, designed and made following his requirements:

• A heavy as possible blade designed for heavy chopping
• A curved and wide handle that would suit his hands
• Narrow (short) and thick convex grind
• Micarta scales with copper pins

The specs of this knife named the Gibor are:

O1 tool steel, 8 mm thick
OAL: 330 mm
Cutting edge: 196 mm
Full tang blade, convex grind, secondary bevel
Natural canvas micarta scales with copper pins
1275 grams

Thanks for watching

My wife would like that for busting open coconuts. Spine for the ripe ones and edge for the young ones.
