It will be a MONSTER....by Andrew Jordan

I've checked the documentation provided by tincoat on TiAlN coating.
According to them, the deposition temperature is 800-850F.
Wouldn't this adversely affect blade tempering? Am I missing something?

You are right but in this case the provider of the pvd use a temperature under 392 F......so its no problem!

Great looking knife. I just don't understand why it would'nt be a full width, full tang though, instead of a stick tang ?

Maybe because it doesent have to? I personaly believe that large knives works better in hand with stick tangs - better shock absorbing potential.
And another thing - with stick tang you can make nicer, one part guards and pommels.

Hi everybody,

last friday i got my Big Chief by Andrew.

YESSSSSS!!

And today i had a little bit leisure time to use it......

The first time with my Monster Big Chief......please have a look!!!!




May I introduce "The Monster" to you?

The first cut with only little power...

3 cuts left and 3 cuts right and the tree is cut in 2 pieces...

Only a few cuts.....the same.

For comparison only the AJ Scout

This knife (short sword ;D) cuts like hell!!!!

The weight, the length and the balance of this great knife creates self-dynamics for cutting.

You have only give it the course and then it does the rest.................

Thanks for this MONSTER, Andrew Jordan!!!

Hi everybody,
now I want to show you my Kydexsheatsystem by Andrew Jordan.

I had two requirements:

a. Molle compatible for bags
b. to carry on the back

..and Andrew resolved these two things perfect!

He used 2 Austrealpine cobra buckles with clips and a Maxpedition-shoulder strap.

This kydexsheath fits perfect and the system allows different carry options AND a quick release...( one push on the buckle!)

The cobra buckles are brilliant !!!!

But please have a look:

I like that rig a lot.

That sir, is a beautiful insturment. It seems to beg to be used. I have read the post, but can't seem to pickup the makers name? Does he have a web site?

 

[TwinStick]

That is a fantastic carry system ! I like options.

 

[Crosslay2]

Heck ya! Nice, nice tool! Great carry system also! And I second JDM61...way to get right out there and start using that bad boy! Like a kid on Christmas!!
