[TommyGun56]

Have you ever thought to yourself, if I ask one more time, Nathan just might give in?

Yes Justin, this is my thinking Apparently it is not going to work though

Only sharpened once so far. SPS II #1000. Will probably move down to the SPS II #3000 stone upon next resharpening. Still waiting on the SP #400 from Tools from Japan...

FYI, SPS II #1000 is ~12 μm and #3000 ~4 μm.

What will the prices be for the Behemoth Chopper and Fluffer?

 

[ManOfSteel89]

Nathan the Machinist any chance of you doing a run of any stainless knives again? I'd really love a stainless EDC that I could wear as a necker or a work knife and not have to worry about any rust/corrosion occurring. A stainless FK would be great for dressing deer also.

^^^^ This.

A light field knife in CPM 20CV could be extremely versatile.

Could you provide any pics of your set up?

Any pics of Behemoth Chopper?

I'm doing final grinds today. They start tumble tomorrow.









It's hard to get a sense of scale looking at the picture. It's damn near a small sword.

Can I please give this post above like one million Likes?!

 

[ManOfSteel89]

You can leave mine without the tumble

 

[trevitrace]

Yowza!

Does it share the same handle scales with the Light Chopper?

 

[ExtraBaconPlease]

What will be the price, good sir?

 

[Nathan the Machinist]

Does it share the same handle scales with the Light Chopper?

No, it shares some Carothers/Arnold/Keffeler DNA with the LC, but the big chopper is not a light multi use camp and hiking tool, it's a big damn chopper. So the design looks similar and shares some characteristics, but they're not the same and they don't interchange.

That's a good question. I don't know.

 

[ExtraBaconPlease]

That's a good question. I don't know.

I'll give you an Australian $0.10 coin and my chewing gum wrapper that has been in my pocket for the last week?
