info taken from a forums for specs and makers description :)

Touch me again and you won't get that hand back." Watched Book Of Eli 4 times since it came out tuesday and ground this bad boy out I call it the New Frontier Sword. It is a one of a kind fantasy blade based on the sword Eli carried minus the holes in the blade. I used 1/4in thick 5160 with a rough finish and black G10 scales. I flat ground the bevels and gave the edge a slight convexing. It is a very heavy blade but when times are so tough that folks no longer fear guns because they know the ammo is all gone, you want your tools to survive anything! 22 3/8in overall with a 15 3/4in blade. Basically a huge camp knife that works well cutting firewood or cannibals

Weight is 2.65 lbs, 3.225 lbs in its kydex sheath


now on to my info. I met up with bobbystoney today and took this beast off his hands. he really didn't want to let him go but I managed to take it off him and keep it in the great state of Indiana :) he was keeping it a safe queen as did the prior owner. well me being a bit different and loving to beat the steel, I immediately went to work on a hard maple tree that the farmer had taken down in right next to me. first impressions. it's a monster, by far my favorite blade I now own lol. though for the weight and size it is very light in the hand and quick. but bites so deep in the wood (I know I know blah) but it's a freaking monster chopper. my dad was also very surprised by how nice it was. he was mimicking the book of eli sword and left it a bit rustic. either way enough talking and on to some pictures. please forgive me on my photos I used my actual camera and it sucks. I should have stuck to the iphone camera but I didn't.

and finally after a whole hell of a lot of swinging we ended up with a lot of nice firewood.

J/k :) Obviously the farm boss handled most the work but limbing was a much easier chore with the book of eli


it took a while but the way this beast bites it was a joy to use. the handle is crazy comfortable. it absolutely destroys green wood. anything up to about 3 inches thick is a one swing pass through. hard wood the chips just fly. if your looking for a amazing beastly chopper get with bill and he will square you away.

thanks for reading :):
 
I like that blade a lot. A little more meat at the back of the handle that I like visually, but I'm assuming he did it for balance reasons.
 
yes I would say it's definitely for balance and is very comfy. it is a great balance. it's 2.5 lbs lol. it is a monster and I love the blade
 
Can't believe I got rid of her. After going back and forth for so long that damn INFI addiction did me in. :(
 
and on to some food prep with this sword. wow it's a slicey thing for as big as it is. my little one wanted some thin cut apple and I figured we better test the ability of this monster. it's quite impressive after all that chopping today it's edge is still in amazing shape. super sharp.

Very cool blade. I loved the 300 sword Bill made after watching that movie too.

I actually got to play with that one yesterday also. it's a monster too. very very cool blade.

dr bill, I have been a siegle addict for a while. I have owned probably 10 of his blades total, all different sizes from his big boy kukri down. I still own a bush sword from him and a just right camp knife and now this monster. he has perfected his craft for sure. they hold a killer edge and chop like a axe :)

thanks for the comments everyone.
