Custom 10/8 Double Shoulder Traditional
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

Man, that is Cool! Most different for a custom. It must be a handful. I would like to give it a go!

I rest my case.

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.

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!
