Forged Carbon Chute? (Why not??!?)
I have akways been a big fan of the Chute knives and especially of the Maker's who do them so well, like Deitmar Kressler, John Young, Bob Loveless, Maseo Takahashi, Mike Lovett, S.R. Johnson, etc. I just love the blade/handle proportions and the handle profile. So! I just decided to do one myself with the twist of being a hammer and anvil type guy, since all of the above mentioned ones are done in Stainless!
Here's what I came up with - Forged down from my 1" square 5160, fully hardened blade with full convex grind. My Andersen Forge' style "high and low" guard, but in hot-blued Mild Steel, with a litle checkering on top! Stabilized Bubinga contoured handle in a Take-down configuration. I'm tellin' ya, I've been walking around all day with this thing in my hand! Tha balance is right where it needs to be. The palm swell hits me dead in the center of my palm "pocket" and I am so diggin' this Bubinga lately, I just really am pleased with the whole package. Soon as I get the sheath done I will be listing it "For Sale". __________________ Blade Show Table 8-Q What do you do when you see your ex in pain, limping and bleeding? Relax. Take a deep breath.

Wonderful interpretation of a classic. The thumb checkering is a nice touch

Hi Karl,
I like the way you've been working flats and facets into your handles. Adds a lot of interest and character, but subtle not edgy or hard. Also, nice job with the pics being able to highlight what you want. Take care, Craig |

Another beauty! I finally got around to checkingout your site - you are definately the master of the take down knife. Excellent work!
