That's what my wife called this one: maybe, but it was sure fun to make.
Several uses I can think of:
Finish off that wild boar that your bulldog has by the ear, ward off zombies and big foot, chop off a limb and make a Zulu type spear. Etc.

Forged from 52100 steel with a mild steel socket welded to the tang.
The blade is heat treated to Rc 58-60
Flat grind with one edge paper slitting sharp and the opposite edge almost sharp for batoning. I can sharpen both sides if someone wants that done.
Overall length: 16 1/2 inches
Cutting edges 9 1/4 inches
Socket inside diameter: 1 inch
I will make a leather cover or scabbard with a belt loop if desired

The edge with the sharpening nick has been sharpened

Looks great.

Couple of questions:
- Is there an additional charge for the sheath?
- Where is the point of balance and roughly what is the weight? Doesn't have to be exact - I'm just interested to know if this is relatively light and nimble (perhaps around a lb in weight), or more hefty? I guess it depends a lot on the thickness of the metal in the socket.

Yes, the price includes a scabbard to your specs. I’m guessing about one pound and it is heavy to the blade. I will be home this afternoon and can be more specific at that time.
 
Thanks for the response. I'll take it.

I'd like to get a scabbard with belt loop and have the top edge sharpened without a sharpening choil (will help me distinguish between the two edges).

Will send paypal later.

So, both edges sharpened but only one edge vwith the sharpening nick?
 
14.4 ounces, Brummell and balanced right at the choir.
