I just move from Bangkok to Ayutthaya (Aranyik Village) because that place is good area to working, that's knife making village so don't worry about sound and facility.
Hope to see you John.

Here is another V2 Chopper that I guncoated the blade and guard black to help with rust protection.

Almost 24" overall with a little over 13" of blade. Differentially heat treated 52100 .200 thick. Dan

Iron is from an old truck leaf spring, forged in the charcoal forge and quenched in brine water. Bolster is a scrap copper pipe fitting.
Handle is Maple stump from a dead tree on our place with a rawhide wrap.
Sheath is some of my deer rawhide over boot leather with a simple concho made from a snuff lid and a antler button from the same deer. .....Randy
