Jake Hoback Knives Chopper WIP

[kungfumo]

Howdy guys,

Figured since Im out in the shop full time for now I would do a WIP on a bad chopper I'm working on. Well I'm much more for pics than words, so here it starts...

.187" 1095 10" blade 4.5" handle
Cut out

Main bevels cut on both sides

More coming tomorrow, I got the profiles done. Started working on the saw back. I dont think I will be going as fancy with the saw as I did for Six's revelation but it will be cool none the less

Hay guys sorry for the delay, we got a good storm that went through and it went from 80 deg to 0 in a day little cold for being in the shop yesterday, but more work today for sure.

Lookin' good Jake. Are you in Texas now? It sounded like it when you said it went from 80 to zero in a day. You might update your profile. That chopper looks like it could handle anything. I hear that jaguars sometimes come up to Houston from Mexico. You just might need that.

Hay Jim, yup we made it down to TX. I will have this one up for sale when its done but I made another a few years ago like it I carry. I think I may need it more for the dang pigs than anything:0
