Camp Chopper
Here is a recent project that I just finished up, as the title says it's a camp chopper. I forged this knife up last week and just got around to finishing it yesterday, but still need to make the sheath for it. The only thing that I dislike about this knife is that the hamon is a bit faded near the choil, the hamon is there but you can only see it when you are looking at the knife up close (so frustrating) but otherwise I am pleased with how this knife turned out and performs, I will post a video later showing its performance. The handle of this knife was a new challenge for me as I haven't done a multi-lamination before but I decided I would give it a shot. The woods I used in this knife are Australian red mallee gum burl, zyrcote, desert ironwood, and Bolivian rosewood. It was a pain trying to get all the angles lined up and to stop sliding, but eventually I got it. This was a fun project and I will post more pictures as it is finished up with the sheath. Let me know what you think!
Specs: 1084 with hamon Blade: 8 3/4 inches Blade width: 1 3/4 inches Handle length: 6 inches Overall: 14 3/4 inches Thanks for looking. Robert Burns |

Okay so I still need a lot of improvement on my leather work but here it is with it's sheath. This was my first inlay and I used stingray skin which dulled about 5 of my exacto knife blades before cutting the pieces I needed...
I'll post the performance video later tonight if I get time. Thanks for looking! All comments and criticisms are welcome. |

Very nice, sir. It has an attitude in its lines. The handle looks full and comfortable.
The sheath is great!, Uuuh..wait..I think you need some more leatherwork practice though..how about this....I'll send you a knife you can use for that practice( make sure you use white cord with recessed stitch lines and the sting ray skin too....you know, just for practice) Nice work __________________ AT "We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow, And watch where the chalk-white arrows go To the place where the sidewalk ends."
