10" distal tapered 5160 katipunan-differential hardened, distalled tang and micarta grips

The only thing I'd change is to decrease the number of pins at the front of the handle. Other than that, this knife looks like almost the perfect chopper. Very impressive design:thumbup::cool:

Just got this from Pete Winkler at BuckeyeCustomKnives in Ohio. These are pictures Pete sent as he built this knife. Picked it up from him last week and absolutely love it.
