Show me your custom camp knife/chopper.

[erik markman]

Same maker as Berno.
It is part of a trade we are doing. Sam asked me to make him a knife in my style following his design. We agreed he would make me a knife in return.

Wicked HUGE!!!

Wow, so many awesome blades.

Here's mine that I'm working on. It's my first, still have to grind the blade back a lot and do some finishing. It will be a camp blade that I hope to love and beat the hell out of. see my thread on it here http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/s...kind-of-metal-is-thsi?p=11195118#post11195118.

Here's one I made for a milita member. It may only have a 6" blade but it can chop. Made from 3/16" ATS34 chisel ground. Sheath leather over kydex and is MOLLE compatible. Sorry about the long exposure.

Received this one a couple weeks back f/Giedymin, a maker here on the forums. It's a big-un... ~ 11" blade and 5" handle. Feels great in the hand w/the stacked leather and curved pommel to keep your hand in place w/swinging it. Not an overly thick blade (~ 5-6mm) but it balances nicely and cuts well. Chopped up a few downed fresh pecan branches this weekend and the edge and blade performed quite nicely! A nice leather sheath as well...

Very cool chopper Rick.

 

[atomicjoe23]

Rick,

that is pretty cool. . .looks VERY practical!!!

I know the blade gets all the glory, but I really like your handle wrap.

 

[RogerP]

Really well done Rick.

Very nice work, Rick !
Looks wicked and nasty(in the best possible way).

Erik, anxious to see the results from this trade!

Rick, that one has a definite WOW factor!

What an epic freakin thread! A custom chopper is most definitely going to be my next purchase.

 

[Berno]

I estimate to be lucky to be friendly with Samuel Lurquin.

But sometimes for the customer whom I am also, it is not easy....

Sam finished my knife, and he sends me this photo, two and a half months to wait....:grumpy:

 

[Berno]

Oups, double shot...
