My new knives are being made !

Great looking design. What are the specs. Blade length and spine thickness. I've owned some big choppers in the past. These remind me a bit of some of my favorites.

Excited to see this project have success.
 
Awesome! Looks like a powerful chopper. You said you wanted to get the knife and sheath done for 200$, did you succeed? How much are you planning on selling them for?

It should be at around 200$
I think that would be a decent price for a semi custom big chopper

Thank you! :thumbsup:

There are a lot of features that make it easy to see you've put a lot of thought into this: blade height, high saber grind, recessed lanyard hole, material choices, etc. I think you should be very proud of what you have here.

I went through 3 major design revisions to get to this design... it did take quite a while
To get there but I think it was worth it
 
Nice looking design - I think these will do well!

best
