I finished this one a few weeks ago and am just now getting around to taking some pics. Its a pretty nice little knife. I think I'll make one for me.
It's the first knife that someone offered to buy before I even finished it. This one goes to the Orkin man. He said it's perfect for his utility rig.
Here are the specs:
Blade length: 2.5"
Overall Length: 6.375"
Steel: O1, .125" spine, flat ground with a hand satin finish
Handles: Carbon Fiber with green liners
Pins & Tubes: Mosaic & stainless
Lanyard: Black paracord with a custom bead made from some of the handle scraps
Sheath: Black Kydex with small Tek-Lok
NEXT:
The last time I smoked some barbecue I had a heck of a time chopping it. My largest kitchen knife just didn't give me the power I needed, so I set out to make my own. Here's what I came up with. It's heavy like a cleaver but designed to do some slicing as well.
Don't know how it will work but I have 3 pork butts waiting for me in Carolina that are going to get the R&D treatment this weekend. Time for some field testing!!
Pokechoppa!
Blade length: 7.625"
Overall Length: 12.5"
Steel: CPM D2, .187" spine, fully flat ground with a nice distal taper and a convex edge
Finish: satin - hand rubbed to 1200 and back to 600
Handles: Carbon Fiber with red & black G10 liners
Pins & Tubes: Stainless
The case is black leather with red stitching and lined with lambskin.
I hate working with the CF but it looks so dang good I can't help it.
