At Blade, I constantly got compliments on my little Bow Legged Joe. So I designed a belt knife in that same mode. Then I thought, lets take this to the Nth degree! LOL. Here is what I got. The Bow Legged Chopper is 15.75" long with a 6" long handle that is natural over black canvas micarta and sports one of my Bullseye Lanyard Tubes and two SS Corby Bolts. The steel is 5160 from Admiral that was 3" wide and 1/4" thick. The straight part of the spine is rounded so you can use it as a draw knife. The curved part of the spine before the handle is square so you can strike your firesteel. The grind is convex.

There is a WIP thread in my forum if you're interested.
