Here's a few pics of my new Monster Chopper I got from Ray Rogers last week.
Kind of off topic so I decided to put comparison pics of her with my FBMLE to show the difference in size and keep it somewhat on topic. :)
Started to post pics of her in the General section but there's a lot more Chopper fans here. :)
She's made from CPM 3V steel, 17 3/4" in length, 1/2" spine, Green Micarta scales bolted on with Loveless bolts, and two 1/4" pins.
She weighs almost 5lbs and feels every bit of it ! :eek:
Have to give a disclaimer for Ray as he wasn't thrilled to build her but did anyway despite thinking I'm nuts. :D
If you guys think I'm nuts, also, that's ok, all my friends and family are in agreement ! :)
Thought you guys might enjoy seeing pics of the Monster.
Would not want another chopper this big again but it's kind of cool to own just one. :cool:
Nicknamed her the "Beast" because Ray kept referring to her that way while building her. :)
Ray got the idea of the blade style from both the Kukri and Bolo.
I like the shape of the blade but everyone has different tastes.

Okay. Have to know. How much does that thing weigh?

Ray said she weighs around 5lbs but I haven't checked her on an official scale.
Tried a bathroom scale and got 4 1/2 lbs but they're not very reliable.
Originally planned to have her ground down to 3/8" thick but then decided to leave her at 1/2" just for the hell of it. :)

Man that thing makes that FAT FBMLE look anorexic. She is a beast alright.
 
Holy Crap! You're gonna need a knife bearer to carry that thing around. :eek:

Your reply reminds me of my niece (Brittney) when she picked up the knife the other day.
Brittney said... "Jeez, uncle Paul", "you could chop a dude in half with this thing from his head to his toes" LOL
Don't worry, I'm not like that. :)
btw, not a Muslim. ;)

Yeah no kidding. At that weight I may as well carry a shotgun. Anything I can't chop through I will just shot through :D

Depending on geometry of that beast...it should make for one helluva chopper.
 
Damn that is thick!!! :eek:

You can cut that thing in half and still make 2 substantial knives!

All I can say is that 1/2 incher is begging to lay waste to something :eek:
