Finally found the time to list all these again. These blades were all ground to be high-performance wood choppers by makers who know what they are doing. If you want more info/pics about any of these, JUST ASK.
Prices on ALL of these are less than what I paid, and I'd prefer they found homes in which they are appreciated and used as functional cutting instruments as the maker originally intended and designed!
1. William Nease Havoc Solid
An immense piece of A8mod. Well over 0.5" thick, ground almost to full zero. 17" blade, 9" handle. Annihilates soft woods with very little binding. Used, but in excellent condition. See here for the maker's YT vid. Asking $SOLD plus shipping.
2. KWB Chopper
Pulled from .275" S7 @ 57-58 (HT by Peter's). This is a big knife: 14" blade, 6" handle, 1120 grams/2.45 lbs (without sheath). Two-piece pancake breakdown kydex sheath with (excellent) detent pin retention system. I had Kyle grind this pretty lean: Primary (flat) is 3.5 dps, edge is 25 thou thick, ground at 13 dps...will out-cut virtually anything. Even my Keffeler Silverback would not keep up with it. Again, used, but in excellent condition. Asking $500 plus shipping.
3. Omnivore Bladeworks Kodiak Survival Sword
Specs can be found on the maker's website here and demo chopping vid here. Absolutely sick piece of bainite 1095, this one got the two-tone cerakote/satin treatment and the (now unavailable) G10 handles from VZ Grips. Used pretty lightly but might need a sharpen. Asking $600 plus shipping.
4. Michael Gavic Gavko Big Foot Kukri Machete
Another 0.275" S7 knife. Blade is ~11.5", handle is ~7" and really well contoured. Almost full height convex grind. Very lean, cuts exceptionally well into hard woods and recurve is a joy to use. Hardly used, still sharp. Sheath is very well made. Asking SOLD.
5. Joe Calton Small Chopper
Small chopper out of diff. hardened forged 5160. Blade is ~9", handle is ~5.5". Very nice little bush knife with a heavy duty leather sheath. Handles are granadillo. Used only lightly once or twice I think, never really got around to this one. Commentary and chopping demo on a similar Calton model here. Asking SOLD.
No trades. All prices in USD. Paypal only (3% or gift pls). I'm based in Australia. Will ship overseas with tracking, insurance and signature on delivery. I'll give you a shipping estimate based on your location before you send funds, and will eat part of the cost if its excessive. Thanks.
