Pictures here! I like big knives and I cannot lie

Proudly made in the USA!
Chop Muk and 9" Hudson Bay XL.
Both excellent choppers, but that Chop Muk will give the arm a workout like ol' Barbi Benton used to.

 

[Mack]

I love that Chop Muk.
John, do you still have the pattern?

Never was a pattern, I just kind of winged it.

 

[Mack]

Cool. That leaves room for customization.

Would you like me to send a cardboard tracing?

Let’s wait, what’s the overall length? If it’s over 13” I cannot do it. That would be a very expensive knife to make, easily over $400 now.

14" OAL.
Oh well, I like knowing I have the only one.

 

[Mack]

Ok, thanks for sticking that dagger in my heart.

 

[JK Knives]

Just realized I can fit a 14” (9” blade) in my furnace if I put it in diagonally (duh)!

 

[Mack]

That is great to know. I will be in touch when my bank account says it's time.

 

[greatscoot]

Picked this up at the last gathering.

Haven’t seen a Lobo in a while!

 

[Mack]

The Lobo is a great design. one I don't have but need.

 

[RussB]

Wow, you guys have some nice ones!

You have one of the two Beasts and one of the two Camp 8’s I made, and I believe the only C/U-6 in orange G10. I don’t even remember making that one!
You have some rare ones!

 

[RussB]

That surprises me, I figured you made a good handful of each, particularly the camp 8, it seems to be the perfect all around chopper. good size, nicely weighted.

You have certainly made a wide verity of big knives over the years, not sure which
one is the best but they all do the job.

These may not be classified as big but they're tough enough to stand up to anything I'll ever need.
