New lionsteel chopper ?

[Revolverrodger]

Who else would be excited to see a big chopper from lionsteel ?
I'm talking about a 0.25 thick 9 inch blade in vanadis 4E !
That would be epic

 

[RamZar]

That would be nice.

For now, you can get the LionSteel-made DPx HEFT 12 CHOP!

Specifications:

• Blade Length: 12.52”
• Blade Thickness: 0.22”
• Blade Steel: Sleipner, 60 HRC
• Blade Finish: Stonewashed
• Overall Length: 18.62”

Concerning Sleipner why use that steel in a big chopper ?
There are other european steels that would be better suited for a large knife:
- viking chipper steel
- calmax
- vanadis 4e

- calmax
- vanadis 4e

Because with a premium ht have a good toughness and edge holding.

Calmax are not produced in sheet. In other experimental past work with this steel we sawed blocks to obtain sheet.

Any chance pf a vanadis 4e camp knife ?
It would be very manly
