Jungle Brute {Fikes inspired mega chopper}

[Benr.t]

I have always loved the Jimmy Fikes Jungle Honey and the Fikes/Fogg Cloud cutter, and have wanted to try something similar for a while now.
This one is all chopper with a nearly 3" wide blade at the tip and a nice taper all the ways to the pommel.
It has a mild steel guard and and pommel that I browned and the blade has an antiqued finish. This thing has an incredibly powerful swing when gripped at the pommel, but can be choked up on for smaller tasks as well. The OAL is 23", with a 12" blade.
I am wanting to do one with a polished hamon now.
Let me know what you all think.

Nice work. Looks like you took your camera outside in natural light. Nice photographs.

 

[Mr.Svinarich]

WOW! Well done, the design itself is nothing special but the way you pulled it of is.

Thanks for the comments guys! I finished up the sheath today.

Nice work on the sheath. Too big to fit in the lightbox - necessity is the mother of invention. Nice natural light photograph.

The weather is to unpredictable up here in Oregon, otherwise I would take more pics outside. : )

That is an understatement - lol. An overcast sky is almost ideal for what you are doing with a camera.
