These are definitely bigger knives than I normally make but there starting to take shape. This is for a buddy that spends a lot of time in the back country. I still have some work to do.

3/16" 1084 treated to 59rc. Primary bevel to 0.15", micarta scales and pins with orange lines and a brass lanyard tube.

A great looking brute of a knife, I especially like your contouring of the handle and the finish on the unground areas of the blade. Very businesslike and attractive in a ruatic kind of way, all business and no frills. Definately appears capable of getting the job done around camp and in the backcountry.

That is a good, solid looking knife. I suspect it should be able to handle any backcountry task.

That is Chopper's little sister Choppa.
Nicely done too I might add.

Done and sharpened, I think he'll like it.... If not I'll keep it ☺️. I think I'll finish the second blank the same way.

Cool looking blade. Reminds me of knives made from old files where the ungrounded part of the blade looks rustic. Love that look.
