thats got to be pretty uncomfortable.

but I say something 3/8 inches thick and with at least a twelve inch blade would be AMAZING.
how much would it cost though?

The handle looks similar to a French bayonet that I have, where's it made?

I like it! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

They have to be thick and heavy to chop off the heads of INFIdels <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Man that DOES look like a "beast"!!!

That appears significantly larger, longer and heavier than my concept. I was thinking more along the lines of 15" - 17" blade. That blade appears VERY thick, heavy and longer than I would prefer... (???). I am guessing the blade is around 20" - 22" (????).

Also, I don't care for the guard. I don't need one and it would just be in my way and extra wasted weight. Aside from the guard, that still looks like a VERY cool massive chopper. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />


What are the "actual" dimensions?

It looks like the blade is massively thick at the guard and tapers towards the tip.

I prefer a single handle and although old, the shape looks decent. But, for a blade that "appears" as heavy as that, how do you feel about the handle?

How about a side by side pic next to a Dogfather?

.


JYD #39 I prefer "SATIN" blades!!!

I can't say I'm overly fond of the design it's just that it's really old and was passed down to me so I have kept it.
Regarding a comparison pic with a DogFather, if someone gives me a DogFather I will post as many pics as you want !!!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/loopy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

That thing is a beast Pitman. You don't need a sheath, you need an assistant to help you carry that puppy. That is a thick blade.
