Show me your custom camp knife/chopper.

Here's my newest beast from B.R.T bladeworks along with my trusty BK9, the slighly smaller Macabre from Johnathan Mcnees and my hawks, led by the Warbeast from 2HAWKS
Hope you like them. I know the very last knife at the bottom isn't a chopper but its perfect for small camp chores and I just love it that much, its a perfect knife.

Well I finally finished the blade I made last year that was dubbed Big Brother by a customer of mine. It was actually too small for the specs that were given so I had to make another blade and it was called "Little Sister" So here he is, all 19.25" of him. The blade is 13.25" long of a 1095, 15N20, L6 and 52100 tight twist pattern per spec. The true collar and pommel are of the same material. The handle is Chalkte Viga and will darken with age to a nice red orange.

Made from 3/16" D2. The blade is 7 1/2" tip to choil, 8 3/4" tip to scales. Overall length is 14 1/2" and it balances right at the ricasso.

It's a Golok Perak :)

And I just got SOD from O'Katz Handmade.
It was built by Katz Tan one of our Malaysian knifemaker :cool:

SOD was made from leaf spring steel of a 1955 Suzuki car.
The blade is sporting a full convex grind that was differentially hardened at about ~59 HRC at the edge and it's scary sharp!
It has a 11" blade, 5" handle, 16" OAL, 2 3/8" at the widest part of the blade and 3/16" thick of spine.

It feels great in hand and the point of balance is at ~ 2" in front of the handle.

SOD (depending on how creative your alphacreation is) is made to endure the punishing rainforest of S.E.A and at about 20+ Oz it delivers great chopping minus the extra weight. In a way the "da dao" profile made it possible as a utility tool and a superb bamboo chopper.

Thank you for the response. I was wrong in who I had thought made it. I must say, that is one beautiful knife. Done in my favorite style and well done indeed.
 
Daniel Fairly recently finished this one for me.
