New knife
http://webpages.charter.net/dawill/I...rassKnife1.jpg
http://webpages.charter.net/dawill/I...rassKnife2.jpg 13 1/4" overall length, 7" of sharp cutting edge (though it could stand to be ground steeper... the hell with it, all that manual labor!). Pretty weighty (all solid construction, haven't weighed it) so seems good for chopping. Yes I had to cut an ugly-ass notch in the handle (made of 25% Zn brass plus maybe 5% lead and tin) to fit the blade tang, since my as-cast core didn't work quite right. Still needs some other finishing work, though it could be acceptable in the current dirty condition. Tim -- "California is the breakfast state: fruits, nuts and flakes."
