Yes it is. Started out listed for 900, months later the seller worked it down to 450. I'm not usually one for pricey choppers but I do own a good stash of TM Hunts. That's about as boutique as I get now.
 
I think it looks ferocious! Probably chops hard. :thumbsup:

Fair enough. I hope it gets to you swiftly. :)

My Latest arrived on Friday... With all the storms we had, I had lots of branches to chop... Unfortunately I have concerns about the handle... I made a thread in the General discussions, but I'm not sure if linking other threads is bad etiquette here? ... I did post it next to my daughter's BK62, so maybe it would be an acceptable "loophole" hahah.

wow.
if you need help reshaping the handle, let me know - I can either do the reshape you're thinking of or send you some thicker micarta so you can make new scales with a palm swell once you're done grinding.

Awe man you're the Best, thank you!
I'm pretty handy, but I know I'll need advice. :D

For instance... Do ya think I could epoxy slabs on the sides then grind/blend them in?

Or do I have to start fresh?

I appreciate your offer though, thanks!
 
I'd be tempted to leave the stock scales on it while grinding - just remember to dunk in a bucket of water frequently.

also - I like to use 1/4" luan plywood (or paint stirring sticks for a 5 gallon bucket) to make a mockup knife and handle -- that way you know what feels good before you start grinding steel.
has saved me from taking too much off a time or 2.

I was debating on buying this knife, or the 20 that was for sale here a number of weeks ago? Ugh!
Days before my knife arrived I was thinking about it... And in my head I was saying that this was probably going to be the first knife that I'm going to leave alone....

Now I'm thinking of grinding the handle like Crazy!
