Ok, not sure what I really would call this one because "the chopper" just doesn't seem right...

I know its a lot of pics, but I can't help being excited! :D

6" blade, 10.5" OAL, Black Linen Micarta scales with 3/8" tube pins. 1/4" thick 5160

Another HUGE thank you to Jim Adams for helping me finish this one up last night!!!!

I did not mention, but this is only my 7th completed knife and first try with micarta...
 
Thanks guys! I think I am gonna stick with this design and make a few more, plus a few in 4" drop point...
 
Looks great Brad,

Just a tip, if you interested, a super fine sanding sponge will smooth that micarta out like newborn baby cheeks, and then a little gun oil sprayed on and let soak in will give you a nice finish.

Keep up the good work.

Steve

(please don't take the suggestion the wrong way, I have worked with about a square mile of micarta and learned the hard way how to make it look good).
