Picked up a new Chopper

[tom1025]

Picked up this Halfbreed Knives creation at the 1500.

So far I am very impressed with this blade. Razor sharp, well balanced and feels good in my hands. Not to mention it has character and is now my favorite blade.

Just messing around after two swings it took a nice little chunk out of this 2x4.

Stay tuned for more pictures this weekend when I have more time to put it to work.

Looks like a serious piece of hardware. I'll be looking foreward to more on this one....

 

[grunt soldier]

very cool blade!!! likes like it's all business!

 

[NathanJefferson]

I'm guessing it is 1095, or do you know? I like it!

Did it come with a sheath? I'd think finding something to house that bad boy would be hard...

 

[tom1025]

It's 5160. No sheath but Nate does make his own kydex sheaths. Grunt soldier and dtrap have made 6 or 7 custom kydex sheaths for me at a reasonable price. For this one I was thinking about trying my hand at making my own leather sheath. So I guess what I am trying to say is getting a sheath isn't a problem.

Looks cool ! Is that some kind of acid etch finish ?

 

[tom1025]

No sir. That's just a hand forged finish.

 

[Corporal D]

Loved the forged finish, I have a few knives I requested to be left that way.

Was this the first 1500 they've been to? I saw them and didn't recognize anything. Nothing caught my eye, but I didn't really stop to look.

 

[tom1025]

It was his first one. I was a vendor as well. Friday I walked by and didn't stop. Saturday I stopped and started talking to Nate. After about 3 hours of total conversation I picked up the chopper right before the show was over Sunday. If he gets into the next show I encourage everyone to stop by and give his blades a good look.

Sweet looking piece. Thanks for the info will look into one of their products

 

[tom1025]

The extra cool stuff is the only reason why I like you going to the 1500. You never know what you might find.

looks like a jeff white knife

Looks like a Jeff white knife??? Awful lot of polish on it to say that... Lol yes I'm hugely influenced by Jeff as well as Jim Carden and the rest of the old knife makers from where I grew up. I see Jeff on a weekly basis, he's my only living mentor. That guys been making knives full time for twenty years, why wouldn't I listen to him ? He's good , has his own style and is successful as a bladesmith. My knives are prettier sexier and shinier... I'm not here to reinvent the wheel just make knives. I owe a lot to Jeff , to abandon what's gotten me to being a full time knife maker would be foolish. To say it looks like a Jeff white knife doesn't bother me in the least, I'm proud of it. And if you go to a rendezvous they all look like Jeff whites knives, lol. But, just as Jeff has said "you've developed your own style, you spend more time on them,and people love what you do, that's why you sell so many" to me thats validation. My hope is that the student ends up better than the teacher - the market will decide the rest.
