Introducing The Scrap Yard Choppacabra!!! . . . Coming Tuesday, 2-25-2025 At 9:00 PM Eastern.

[MattinLA]

Just got the Choppacabra and it is freaking great!
Feels great in the hand, I have always loved the Regulator handle and it fits nicely with this blade.
I will have to chop soon. Well balanced with an obvious forward weight.
I have always wished for a Regulator handle on my BG BB13 and now I got one.
This definitely feels more like a chopper than the more heavy machete feel of my .187 BG BB13.
I have been dreaming of acquiring a MOABOLO for years. Will this scratch that itch? Maybe. If Jerry releases a new full tang Bolo I'll probably check it out. For now this is my King



It is also a lot more stabby than I thought it would be

Clip point + recurve… something about it draws me in!

And the .187 BG BB13 is pretty damn good to begin with! Last Saturday afternoon…

Sorry I couldn’t get a better live action shot. For some reason I found it difficult to hold the cellphone and the BB13 and the rake at the same time.

New sheath material

Yeah, very pretty snake! Great example of a high desert Western Diamondback. I wouldn’t have killed it anywhere but at the house, but we have a little dog—just didn’t need it hanging around that close.

sheath inlay--

but yeah, you'll get no flak from me on putting it down-- they're great mousers and I'd rather have them around <in their environment> than a bunch of vermin spreading Hanta, etc.

I get the Checkered Mexican Garter Snakes on my patio under the fountain.....Gentle and good mousers.

That looks like a healthy snake. I like the markings pattern. Great to have them around!

Good to have around, and pretty relaxed comes and goes with no aggression...I like that in a Snake. It's real pretty pattern so easy to distinguish from the Diamond Backs around here.

Over 20 years ago I made this one.

Lots of noisy snakes in AZ

I’m in for one if you got a spare!

 

[DamascusBowie]

If the 13.5 Chopacabra was reintroduced, how many would buy it?

 

[David Brown]

But we all have the BB13's in both SR 101 and INFI ?

The .210 thickness would have put it right the middle though, was looking forward to that comparison.

I want infi, but with a regulator handle.
