    Perfect wall hanger for a Barber.....
    For that "tough beard".
    I'd go with a camo kydex sheath for that one..lol.
    Finally, a suitable machete for Johnson grass..lol.
    My first machete was acquired in Boy Scouts.
    I imagine that would be the ultimate Boy Scout machete.
    Lol.
    Gorgeous piece man!

    Your build looks like a perfect Chopper. Worthy of a judge's build. I want one of those now. I really like the profile and the unique finish. Great job!

    Nice chopper! I'm a beginner. I am inspired to try something like this. My metal building should go up in 2 weeks or so. I still need to build a forge and build a grinder. What was the little horizontal belt sharpener you were using? Thanks for posting the video. Liked and subscribed.

    • @theriversexperience9383

      That little grinder is a 1x30 that they sell at Harbor Freight. A lot of knife makers start with one like that (that's what I did).

    Amazing work, esp for being a 3 day build. Others I've seen so far may beat yours aesthetically, but only a couple come close functionally!
    Edit: Not saying yours looks bad, just not same level of polish some of the contestants put in, which again makes total sense having to restart with just 3 days to go. Great job!
