A meat cutter project almost complete

[rcknives]

Almost done with my meat cutter project called the "CARNICERO". The blade is hollow ground from D2 which is hardened and cryo'd down to 60 rc. OAL is 9 1/8" and the blade length is 4 1/2". The handle material is cocobolo and it has vine file work on the spine. Still needs a bit more sanding to clean up the scratches but I couldnt help myself I just had to give it a quick buff to see this bad boy come out. Let me know what you guys think.

I like it very much. I'm a sucker for kitchen cutters and I think this is a very nice counter creation. Cleaver are not the easiest sharp edged tool to create. To my eye you did quite well with this one.

Thanks for sharing, Fred

Looks very functional and eye catching too!
Have you hacked up any meat yet?

Not yet Laurence but it should make a very short order of it. I left weight on the tip to make it very easy to do just that.

That thing is awesome Robert! Very nice...

I love the design and handle shape.

I really dig that design. Nicely executed, too! Great job.
