Been hanging in my shop 15 years

[ArtinNC]

I'v had this hanging on the wall for 15 years , just never liked it . So I'm finishing it for a chopper for a demo at our next NC KnifeMakers Guild meeting. Blade 440C 10 3/4" cutting edge , Hollow ground blade. This should be enteresting. I don't expect much out of it .
I never finished because I don't like big knives , and didn't like the style after I got it cut out.
All bad comments welcome , ha ha ha

I actually like it. it would be great with a chisle grind on that flat part of the spine and a sharpened top edge at the point. Art this is way out of your compfort zone.

[ArtinNC]

Yeah Andy, way out.

IMO, going out of your comfort zone is what will set you apart from the average knifemaker.

I certainly would not want to lock myself inside of a box. That gives you nowhere to go except for where you've already been.

I like the piece, Art. The hilt area really has a Larry Harley Battle Bowie look to it. I'm looking forward to seeing it up close and seeing it in action.

Man that thing looks like it will do some serious damage. you need to come up with a name to match. It is going to take more than a cool knife to beat me. Hee Hee ( just a little trash talk to ramp thing up )
