It's just a GD. Took a little while grinding the spine square, but had to be done to do professional spine work. Scales are padauk with a white pine wedge. I'm not selling this, just wanted to show my work.

Love the shape of that blade. Reminds me of a medieval executioner's beheading axe!

You gonna shave with that? Looks kewl, but the spike toe and spike heel together are a bit much for me. I would be too noid to use it to best effect. Nicely done, though. You obviously spent a lot of time, care and attention on that project. I give it two thumbs up.

My first thought was the jimps look like it'd be a bit rough on your thumb. Then HOLY SMOKES!!!! look at the double spikes! Sir, you officially have more manliness than I do.

I used a high speed pencil grinder 56k rpm for the regrind. Used a dremel 300 for the design work.

I shaved with it a couple times so far. Honing progression of 400, 1k, 4k, 8k, 12k, stropped on red latigo, awesome shaver. Definitely going to repeat the design. Originally Posted by smalltank

you are getting better with everyone....

the fact i'm dragging a shovel and a body should be irrelevant...

Ancient Kauri wood, white pine backbone. I was lucky enough to have a friend in New Zealand that sent me some of the ancient kauri, it's supposedly wood that was buried by a flood 50,000 years ago preserved in peat moss.
