Forged chopper

Forged this chopper out of 1075,Not sure yet about the tip and I may bring it back a little after heat treat. Put the clay on today after normalizing and will probably heat treat it on monday.It should make a nifty chopper.

Done just in time for my table at a gun show this weekend. 15 inches overall with a 10 inch blade that's 5/16 at the spine,used some dewcarta that I had laying around glued and screwed so they should stay good and secure.
