SOLD
I really like how this one turned out a nicely balanced, lightweight chopper. Hand forged, distil taper, fast, flexible and sharp!
Material 5160
Thickness Distil taper. 1/8 tip, 3/16" at ricasso, 3/32 at end of tang.
Bevel Flat with a convex secondary bevel
Blade length 10 cutting edge, 10 5/8" incl. ricasso.
Blade width 2" at widest, 1 at ricasso.
OA length 16 1/2".
Handle 3/4 tang, Hickory (sealed w/ tung oil), 6 1/4" long, brass hollow pins, leather cord wrap (epoxy sealed), leather thong lanyard.
Finish Rough forge finish with gun blue.
Sheath 10oz vegetable tan, baldric style carry, ambidextrous, tooled, hand stitched, copper rivets, hot dipped in beeswax/linseed mixture.
It'll be a couple days before I get it up on my site...
Thanks for looking,
Rick
