New Custom Chainsaw

**wynndow** · 10-05-2014, 11:17 PM

This may be too aggressive or a multitude of other words for some but it has a back story. I work for a large company that cuts/trims/butchers trees (depending who you ask). Anyways we are have a banquet in a month and some of my guys are going to be rewarded for their hard work with different prizes. This being one of them, going to a guy who, no matter what it is, is just one of those guys that is always willing to do anything that needs to be done to get the job done without a complaint.

The Damascus blade is approximately 3/4 hollow with a 5/8 grind. If you are familiar with a chainsaw the file work may remind you of something, after etching I hit the "teeth and rakers" with some sandpaper to make them look freshly sharpened (the teeth are definitely not sharped). And the scales are Kirinite with our company colors.

Thanks for looking!

Wowsa! Quite the reward. Hope it is appreciated and used with care.

Nice file work for trimming old growth forests LOL

Now that will get the old growth coming out of your nose. You need to make a spine protector for stropping unless of course you use balsa. Then you will just need a pile of them to make into kindling. Darn cool razor for sure .

Yeah I thought about the stropping,I did chamfer the corners so it's not super snaggy, but care will still have to be used with quick flipping. He may end up using it, but I'm willing to bet it will be more of a display piece... either way I know he will appreciate it regardless.

Tapering the spine, or even grinding it a little bit would help with the teeth snagging (esp. on a hanging strop) because they will be lifted further away from the strop surface. Looks like you may have done just that, but it's hard to tell from the pictures.

Of course, you still can't strop fast because the flip would have to be careful - most people move the razor along the spine when they flip it and that would catch the strop.

Seems like a very suitable corporate gift.

That is wicked looking. So is the a Stihl spine or a Huski?
