I had a couple of customers who are friends who wanted Benghazi Warfighters from me. The one had already gotten a War Chief tomahawk, and the other wanted the blade on his to be extra long.
Both were forged from 1/4" 5160, both got black canvas Micarta handle slabs.
The regular-sized one is 11 1/8" overall with a 6 1/2" blade.
Both also got black Kydex sheaths with TekLoks.
Here it is with the War Chief. I think they go well together.
The oversized one has an overall length of 12 3/4" and a blade length of 8 1/8".
By way of comparison:
In spite of the significant difference in blade length, they both balance at about the same point at the choil. That's because I left out the lightening holes in the tang of the long one. The new owner commented on how lively it is, "feels like an extension of my hand."
Both gentlemen have served in the armed forces, Air Force and Marines respectively. Thank y'all, fellows!
