Custom 10/8 Double Shoulder Traditional

**rangerdvs** · 11-26-2011, 01:11 AM

Out of the fire it doth come forth, this double shoulder Iron Horse; and if you dare to test this blade, then upon thy cheek it must be laid !

I was shooting here for something reminiscent of the traditional meat choppers of times past. I used A2 steel for the blade. Scales are Buffalo Horn with ornamental Nickle steel overlay. Spacer is also horn. Satin finish. 1/4 hollow double shoulder grind.

Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving !

Best Regards
Kenny

Hey thanks Bill! Yeah, I new that questions was coming. LOL It was a challenge from the beginning to keep the weight in check. It is 4.1 oz. I suppose I could have trimmed a little here and there to get it lower, but I liked the way it looked and a part of me liked the weight, just went with it. Its "balanced" well and feels good in my hand. Definitely not a beginner blade though. Best Regards Ken

Not to be picky but

your scales are off a tad,the spec sheet you sent with mine stated 2.9 OZ.
Took it to the lab at the hospital I work out of,They can wgt a dust particle

Mine was actually 2.75. Nice work man.

Yeah, that darn scale of mine, think its time for an upgrade.

Very, very nice work! Love the serrations on the tang - gives it an even more aggressive profile, if that's even possible.

OMG....who does this belong to?? I'm weak in the knees!

The scales are a bit modern for me, but that blade just makes my heart beat faster. Kenny, I think this is one of the best I've seen from you!
