Here is a cool new chopper I recently made. It was inspired by a knife Jimmy Fikes made in his cord wrapped series of blades. Mine has green Terra Tuff scales over 1/4in thick 5160. The blade is 15in overall with a 9 5/8in blade. The bevels are flat ground. I used a large pommel to make sure it stays in the hand during chopping. The blade has a really nice flow to it that makes it feel very useful for even delicate tasks and food prep. I can hardly wait to get it out for a trial run! :)

Very few folks do like the greenish color :( That's why I chose it for my own user :) I love the material though. It finishes out smooth but the exposed fibers give it a grip similar to heavily sand blasted canvas micarta.
 
i like the handle color, larger pommel and blade proportions.
sheath to hold the steels shown also?
lets see the complete setup.
 
that is a great design, I'm working on something very similar, only it's a hidden tang in a nicely curved and figured section of elk antler. I like that handle material just fine.
 
Man I have always been a fan of your chopping designs. That personal chopper is great. Its good to know that makers do stuff for themselves once in a while.
 
I like it. Excellent blade configuration and handle ergonomics. I could probably even live with the color just to annoy my friends!:D

Wow, I would buy it like that, I like the handle colour alot.
The overall shape looks very sober and classy. Very pleasant and "utilitarian", I can feel it must be great both in the woods and the kitchen just by looking at it!

Is there a cheap "students version" of it available? ;)

Best regards,
