hello all, i havent been making much time on the forums lately, but here's a chopper i recently finished for a customer, it's about 20" of 1/4'' 5160.

I 2x's quenched and 2x's tempered it. The handle is paracord, with an underlayment of shaped leather. It's a very light knife considering it's size, the spine has a long taper to it.

let me know what ya think. :)

Andrew,

Now ya talking Bro!!! That is a fine piece of iron and looks like it could swing through something with a lot of ease. I like the recurve sweep to the blade instead of the kukri 45deg type turn in the blade they do. Also this is American made. Very nice and congrats...
 
Great looking design. I bet there will be a few less trees around, now that you made a chopper like this.:D
 
Can you take a pic that shows the taper? One in hand would be nice too.
Great looking blade.
 
sorry dont have any, not sure i ll be able to get any either

but thanks all
andrew

Good stuff, bro! I like the maker's mark a lot. Plain and simple. What kind of sheath did you do?
