Default New knife

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.
