These are a couple of corny shots of a Chopweiler. For the people who are not familar with it here are the specs.
Chopweiler - (micarta) (SR101) = 19.1 oz; .25” thick; 7.5625” blade; 13.1875” oal

I never warmed up to the bump in the Ratweiler so the Chopweiler fits the bill perfect!
Below is a Ratweiler pic from one of my old threads.

This one was stripped by the previous owner and is a cutting machine. I have not chopped with it yet but as soon as I am physically able Im going to TOWN!!!!

Close up of the finish.from one of my old threads.

The Chopweiler is a great oldie from Swamp Rat and is a real working knife.

Thanks for looking.

What makes you like the rat over the chop jb? The handle? The blades are pretty identical.

You know I love my dogs, but rats are easier to stuff in sewers for knife pics! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

What makes you like the rat over the chop jb? The handle? The blades are pretty identical.

The looks the balance, the thumb ramp (I like it), it was one of the first Swamp Rats, it is differently heat-treated (I don't know is the chopweiler?)
and it just looks good and mean.

It is a good looking blade the handle just doesn't fit well for me. But it is a great knife too, but the chop is better <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Sweet knives!

Yes, the CW is diff heat treated. You can see the temper line in his pics.

I would like a Ratweiler with a Chopweiler handle. Love those bowie profiles.
