So yeah, I like choppers, so I get this idea on making one. Here is the basic design. What do you think of it?
Handle is/will be subject to change. I am going to make a wooden model to feel how it is like holding it.
HT is going to be done in one shop, so no worry in this part.
Steel will be O2 tool steel.
My question is, do you ever tried to make knife this big only with angle grinder? If so, do you think that going for 6 mm (0,23 inch) stock is too much work with angle grinder, or is it better to stick with 4,5 mm stock (0,177 inch).
