Another mini-PM2 chop job

#1

Post by DigDug72 »

I previously chopped down another PM2 that gets a ton of use, but decided I wanted to try a more sheepsfoot-esque blade shape. Copped a user off the BF exchange and got down and dirty.

You sure are getting good at chopping them, if you didn't know better it could pass for factory. I especially like how you beveled and smoothed the G10 and how uniform it looks as it meets the texturing.

Does it cut well and handle well?

Thanks, dug. I wouldn't be offended if you did, though. I am a modder myself.

Ryno: Yes indeed! The tip is lowered considerably, which makes it easier to engage for precise cuts. Less belly, which I also prefer. The rounded edges on the handles make it feel really comfortable.

Thanks Vivi. You got it, that lowered tip makes all the difference!

Thanks for the encouragement everyone!
