Just sent this cleaver out to buddy/customer. I really enjoyed all aspects of this project except for sendin it away. :-( some of them are hard to let go and this was one of them. Hope he enjoys it! Thanks for lookin!

Crazy sick you already know mang the details and that sheath is sick as well I guess you know what I want next from you bro:thumbup::thumbup:btw what are the specs?
 
I can see why that one would be hard to let go it is the coolest cleaver I have ever seen.
 
Amazing! Love ALL the file work. How did you manage to do those brass pins in the spine in the handle?

Todd can probably explain it better...but from what I was told, they are simple brass nails from the hardware store. Loctite in the hole, nail in the hole then cut off excess material, leaving a small amount above the spine. Then a ball-peen hammer is used to peen them into shape.
 
Very interesting! Very nice! That has to be one the coolest cleavers ever!

Pfewwwwph.... that was quite the workout...... soooo much detail....... sooooo well done. Every aspect exhibiting the same high degree of styling and quality... nothing lagging. A feast for the eyes and surely a beast in the hand as well. WOW!!

Is that deer antler for bolsters?

The bolsters are elk bone
 
That is spectacular. I can certainly understand not wanting to ship that off.
 
Wow guys I don't know what to say! With the quality of work coming from so many gifted craftsmen on this forum, to get this many compliments is a real honor! Thanx all! As far as specs it is made of O-1 tool steel. 3/16 thick. The handle is curly maple and the bolster is elk antler. The rockwell is 57 pnts. C scale. I made it from stock removal method and made everything except the mosaic pin material (which sleepy badger was kind enough to call me out on) as far as the overall lenth you'll have to ask sleepy b.(I forgot to measure it) thanks again!
