Nine Year Old Chopper

Not the knife . . . the kid.

The knife in the video is a collaboration piece recently completed by Conner McGhee and his father Scott. This blade, dubbed the Guillotine, will be on display at the 2012 Blade Show in Atlanta along with some of Scott's knives. It's a brand new camp knife, not a dedicated chopper as the title might imply. Conner is the 9-year-old "chopper," and he'll be at Blade as well.

Guillotine
Steel: 1080
Finish: Belt-finished scandi grind
Overall Length: 15 3/8 inches
Blade Length: 10 inches
Handle: Brown canvas Micarta

This is the first double-signed father-son collaboration knife out of Guinea Hog Forge, but we hope it won't be the last. We'll use this double signature until we can get Conner his own mark.

Conner was planning to sell the Guillotine at Blade, but Grandpa McGhee purchased it before we could get it in the case. He said we could show it off at the show but better bring it back!

Hope to see you there - Table 21R.

That right there is awesome. I hope one day my son will join me in the shop.

Way to go Conner!
To the McGhee family - have a great show!

 

[ScottRoush]

Very cool.... Man what I would've bought with that kind of cash at his age!

Thanks to you all. Conner is with us in Atlanta and is really looking forward to the show. I'm very proud of the work he's doing and I think he is too. We'll keep this up as long as he enjoys it.
