The chopper was inspired by a Blade magazine article about the knife of Caiaphas Ham, one of Jim Bowie's companions. His knife was a butcher knife. I wanted this to be a chopper with a tip pointy enough for thrusting.

Flat ground, convex edge blade, 9.5" long
Overall length is about 14.5"
Blade and tang are distal tapered for good balance and light weight.
