Ozark Chopper:
This knife is designed to be a workhorse with minimal bulk and weight. The near full height flat grind cuts the weight down significantly while allowing the use of thicker, stronger bar stock and provides additional leverage for splitting wood. The blade profile is optimized for camp chores and hunting preparation such as clearing shooting lanes, building brush blinds, and making split wood fires while allowing enough belly to work well as a skinner and camp kitchen knife. The handle geometry is optimized to be full sized and powerful for heavy cutting chores with a swell at the end for choking down and flicking the blade through vines and small limbs. The size and contours of the handle should allow a loose, yet powerful, grip with no sharp corners or hot spots to reduce hand fatigue over extended periods of moderate to heavy use.
You can see that I've put my personal knife to use already but I still have 2 more of these left that are absolutely brand new that I just finished making on 11/12/16 that are ready for sell. Both of the extras have heavily bead blasted black canvas micarta handles and one of the two extras has yellow liners. It'll be a while before I do any more big choppers as I have quite a few other knives I want to work through.
Specifications:
Overall Length: 12"
Blade Length: 7"
Height: 1.5"
Grind: Flat with secondary bevel
Steel: 1/4" CPM 3V at 60 HRC by Peters Heat Treat
Handle: Black canvas micarta with heavy bead blasted finish
Hardware: Aluminum tubing
Date of Completion: 11/12/16
Sheath: kydex
Value: $350 for the knife without liners or $375 with yellow liners
Here is my personal Ozark Chopper at work. I left it a little rougher finished than the rest:
These are the two left for sell:
