Greetings all! Here’s a new medium sized chopper for your consideration, easier than a real behemoth to carry but it’ll get the job done.

Steel is .195” x 1 1/2” in 80CRV2 with professional HT at 60/61. Hand sanded to 800 grit for a fine satin finish. The robust edge was about .018” before sharpening and it balances at the front of the scales.

Dimensions: 10” OAL, Tip to Scales 5 9/16”

A beautiful blond, stabilized Japanese Privet handle is accented with black G10 liners. It’s finished to 1200 grit and secured with stainless pins and lanyards. The handle feels great in my average sized hand with room to spare.

I was told in another thread that Japanese Privet resembles olive wood. There's not a ton of technical info about Privet online but I did find an article where they make arrows from it so I suppose it's gotta be tough and stable and I know it's very hard.

A couple of lengths of orange paracord are included.

$165 to your US door, and of course your satisfaction is my only priority.

Thanks so much for looking and please feel free to ask anything here or via PM.

Hello All, this is still available, Matty was asking about a custom build in my FB.
Thanks, John
 
Looks like you've made several similar to this. Has anyone posted a review? I've got a birthday coming up too fast and the mrs is searching for ideas.
 
Hi F fishiker , no reviews that I know of. Yes this is my 7th I think and mostly went to members here. I always followup once tracking says delivered and everyone's said they are happy. It hasn't happened yet but if someone says they didn't like something I'd refund their cost + return shipping no worries.
