Momatt Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Sometimes we make stuff just because we can. I made this chopper from 1/4 inch 1084. It weighs about 4 pounds. My little girl helped me forge it. I quenched in veggie oil and tempered in the oven at 400 for an hour. Pinned and peened on some walnut scales. Put a wicked sharp edge on it. Its crude and rough and just what i wanted. Next time i butcher a pig ill try using it instead of the saw. First time moving metal in a while had a terrible case of tennis elbow last fall.
