navasky Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Here's something I finished up recently that I'm pretty pleased with. Purely for use in the kitchen, it works a bit like a cross between an ulu and a chef's knife. It's designed so that you can choke up on the handle and rock it back and forth for fine chopping, or grip it farther back and use it like a standard cleaver or heavy knife. Having the option to have your hand right over the blade gives it a lot of power and control, and the whole package has ended up being pretty versatile. 52100 blade with an oak handle.

ThomasPowers Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Great concept! I'd add in another rivet if you plan to do a lot of joint chopping with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
