TheoRockNazz Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 (edited) I am happy to finally show off the economy custom chopper series we've been working on the past six months! The blades are all 80CrV2 high carbon tool steel forged to shape, rough ground, and heat treated by yours truly; then final ground and assembled by Justin Kirck, who also made the leather sheathes. Handle materials include stabilized burls, hybrids, micartas, and hardwoods. While this isn't the completed set, the choppers here are great representation of the fun materials we got to play with. More collaborations are on the horizon, I will keep yall in the loop!

Charles dP Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Cool stuff Theo. I know no two will be exactly alike, but could you share some rough vital statistics please?

I know no two will be exactly alike, but could you share some rough vital statistics please? Sure! They all range from 9.25 to 10 inches of blade, 1/4 inch thick and 2 inches wide. Triple step down normalized, spheroidized annealed, quenched in Parks 50, tempered for 4 hours at 400F and then the spines were blued.

Joshua States Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 (edited) Nice stuff (as always) Theo. I've been following a student of yours, Stephanie Aiuto. She's quite gifted. (Her father Tony & I went to high school together. He was supposed to take a lesson with you, but I never heard how that turned out) Edited December 21, 2018 by Joshua States “So I'm lightin' out for the territory, ahead of the scared and the weak and the mean spirited, because Aunt Sally is fixin’ to adopt me and civilize me, and I can't stand it.

It can take a huge amount of energy to get him to deviate from being at rest. I'll put a bug in his ear. In the meantime, are those handle appliques some of your 3-D printing? “So I'm lightin' out for the territory, ahead of the scared and the weak and the mean spirited, because Aunt Sally is fixin’ to adopt me and civilize me, and I can't stand it.
