Hello folks , I originally posted this as a chopper , but then my wife said she wanted it to take out back and whack the heads off of the moles digging up our back yard , hence the new name was born . But it could be a whack-a-possum or -a-gopher , the choices are endless .
Now for the specs.
This whacker tool has been flat ground from 3/16th A-2 Tool Steel , ScotchBright Belt satin finished and heat treated to a Rockwell Hardness of 60 .
O.A.L is 12-1/4" , the blade tip to handle comes in at 7-1/4" . Sharpened edge is at 7" and width edge to spine is 1-1/2" at handle and 1-3/4" just behind the tip . Weighs in at 13.1oz
The G-10 Ghost crows beak handle offers security from flying out of hand and just for extra security I added a front lanyard hole . The handle is secured with epoxy and 5/16" Corby bolts.
I added some g-10 neon liners just for looks . The handle was only finished down to a 120 grit belt to offer a more non slip grip .
Sheath is ambidextrous carry 9 oz .
$325.00 includes shipping and insurance in the USA . Pay-pal , postal M/O or check ( held to clear )
My PP is sandlot@charter.net
thanks for looking , hope you all like it .
