since he's pretty much doing "custom" only now, your best approach is to find a picture of a chopper that is exactly like you want. grip, blade style, length, etc. and send to him and see if he can do it.

There are no current knives for sale there as I only take custom orders these days, but if you look in the sold section, you will find some of my previous builds.

There's a typo. There's no 's' in custom. Add an s and it will work.megman wrote: ↑Wed Apr 10, 2019 8:38 pmDid you change the link?

The Damascus looks great!
Tappered bolster to allow sharpening of the entire blade.
Forward balance.
Contoured handle for better grip. Or a classic handle made from a material allowing for better grip.
15" long.
10" cutting blade.
2" wide
I'll be chopping wood with it so strength and durability are paramount. Edge retention is secondary as I don't mind sharpening my own blades and I do it regularly.
This is pretty much exactly what I'm looking for, but they are constantly sold out and it's nearly impossible to get one.

I realize you probably don't work with CPM-4V but you could let me know what steel you would recommend.
