Here is one finished just in time for Christmas.
Cutting edge is 4 1/4" of hand forged cable. The handle is, well, cable. Total length is 9 1/4".
Hope you all have a great holiday.
Thats some nice looking welding Brother Wade. I tried some cable and it looked ...not that nice.. I like how you left the cable intact on the handle end. Twist at heat? ..Something else to try now. Outstanding....
