This is a my idea of a Neo tribal/Jaoanese style super chopper.
I wanted to cram as much power and usability into a fairly compact package, with a Neo-Tribal feel. The long handle gives you tons of power when you move your hand to the back. I also gave it a generous choil that is rounded and polished (as well as the spine). This allows you to have a very comfortable choked up grip for handling small tasks. I call this one the "Bush Brute", because it is basically a small version off the large "Jungle Brute" that I did a little while back.
The wrapped and soaked handle is very comfortable and offer tons of grip. It has two hammered copper Menuki's as well.
I gave the blade a nice durable antiqued finish.
This knife is ready to blaze some trails this summer!!
Here are the specs.
OAL - 15.25"
Blade - 8.25"
Steel - .250" 5160 I spring tempered the tang and spine as well, which makes for an extremely tough blade.
Handle - It has a brown hemp underwrap and Black Tsuka Ito wrap.
Sheath - Hand stitched heavy duty leather, built to last.
Price - $505 shipped priority mail.
Paypal preferred to bentendick at gmail.com
I also accept postal money orders and major credit cards.
Thanks for looking!!
