Replied. Looking forward to seeing your work in person. That tapered tang made it irresistible. I'm afraid my Junglas may get dusty...BTW, what does "Slavonishe" mean?

It's a joke. Slavonia is eastern Croatian region where i live.

I like it. This is the typical form of the Bulgarian shepherd knife /karakulak/. Including thickening for the finger from the bottom side. :thumbup:

Thank you. It's that form with some western influence. Feels great in hand :)
 
It's packed and ready to go.
Plank came from old barn i had to dismantle. Most of the planks were oak. I've used some to make a table and some decorative work. One of them was walnut, and i kept it for handle material (usable parts).
Besides nice wood, there was some wrought iron with cool, almost 3D grain pattern, now waiting to be used :)

Yeah...he said it was 100 years old, not 400. Next you'll be claiming the steel is from a WWII german tank...or Excaliber. ;)

It would be a nice story :)
But the truth is, just a few guys, few beers, JCB backhoe and old barn.

Influence is rather from east. In this case - Turkey.

That's interesting. Funny the places we find what are now very scarce/expensive hardwoods. Re-claimed materials are popular here. If that old barn could have talked, I'd bet there would be a few good stories. Can you give some details on your heat treat? It sounds like this piece was built to perform well as a hard use chopper. BTW, thanks for shipping so quickly. :)
