New Camp knife/Chopper!!!

[Bill Siegle]

Scratched an itch I had and this is the result! It’s heavy duty for sure at 22oz! It’s made from 1/4in 5160 with black/maroon G10 scales. It’s 14.5in overall with a 9in blade. The bevels are flat ground to almost a zero edge and then the final edge was applied. Makes for a great chopping edge while still being a good cutter. The handle scales are experimental with how I contoured them. I started with a comfortable profile then added the contours with small wheels. After that, the handle was sanded to remove any sharp corners.

Very cool ,the handle looks a bit like a more symmetrical version of common style Kiku Matsusa uses.
