I haven´t shown anything here in a while, so here is one I just finished.
It has a 1/4" thick, 10" long 5160 steel flat ground blade sellectivelly heat treated by my friend knifemaker Ariovaldo Lopes and satin finished.
The handle is maple wit stainless 1/4" pins and the sheath is very thick leather finished to match approximatelly the handle color and decorated with some light tooling.
This is the second large trailing point camp knife I ever made and I am very satisfied with the results - it is not light in any way but perfectly balanced for heavy duty chopping.

Ww Ivan, I think this is my favorite I've seen you post. That a VERY nice chopper!
 
Yeah BABY! That is nice:D I bet it's fun, too:thumbup:
 
It looks very good.

Ivan, this is off topic, but can you tell me what happened to the Brazilian Bladesmiths website?
 
I am in agreement with Xaman, probably my fav of any you've done. Glad to see you back posting some knives man. This one looks real good:thumbup:
 
Tanks for te comments. Some people wo saw te knife in person also said it was te best lookin I made so far, includin my broter wo as seen most of te knives I made. After makin knives for about 9 years I may finally be learnin sometin...
Keit, I bout te Brazilian Bladesmits site from Jeff late in 2007 and kept it oin for about a year but it was impossible to keep te site due to te lack of knives to offer, so it was improfitable, and as tere was notin I could do about it I decided to close it and deal wit te knives I receive every now and ten one at a time, but I do tis less and less lately, dedicatin my time to my own knives and te custom pen project tat I ave been developin.
 
I actually have been getting some great use out of this knife:
