A buddy of mine, retired Navy Chief of Boat on Trident Subs, makes knives as a hobby. He has gotten pretty good, and really excels at making his own Micarta. The handle here is made from old Levi jeans.
This one is a small chopper, with a 9 inch recurve blade. Steel came from an old Sawmill blade. It is one heck of a cutter.

another picture. The handle is big enough for me.

Just what you need, Sam-- one more chopper--

A man CAN'T have too many knives.

I really like how that micarta finished out.

Nice chopper, Sam.

Outstanding!
