Looks good. Very nice work as always. Useful shape too.
What do you do with those blade tips?
You must have enough to make a mean Macuahuitl! :D

On topic - I'm loving these skinny-mini chops. Awesome work.

Re: Shaman mini-skinny chop
Yeah man,I gotta agree- the Shaman is such a great design, and it is a crime to mess w/ her (guilty)!
Thanks man, I gotta go that route, those look epic! Here's a pic of the 'chop graveyard':Cambertree wrote: ↑Wed Jun 03, 2020 11:05 amWhat do you do with those blade tips?

Re: Shaman mini-skinny chop
Ha ha, very cool! There’s either the makings for that, or a modern art sculpture in there somewhere! :D
Thanks for the pic, and I always dig :rolleyes: seeing your work.
Yeah, while I can’t say I’d want to get hit with any edged weapon, that must be the one I’d least want to get hit with! :eek: :DGiftedMisfit wrote: Thing sounds like a real vicious CQ weapon.

Re: Shaman mini-skinny chop
That is such a cool looking knife! I may have to go to the metal shop and get to work.
Re: Shaman mini-skinny chop
That's amazing looking work as always.... Am I reading the length right for blade 4 / handle 3 ???

Re: Shaman mini-skinny chop
This was honestly the reaction that I thought this chop and the Rock Lobster would get, so thanks for restoring my faith in the universe LC!!!
But I have fallen in love w/ the mini Shaman, she's kicking everything else out of my pocket.
Re: Shaman mini-skinny chop
Once again, congratulations!
Re: Shaman mini-skinny chop
This is really cool! :)
Really looks like it was designed like this from scratch. I also like that you grinded away that protruding "knob" at the end of the finger choil. While I like that feature on the actual Shaman, your modded knife looks better and more harmonic without it (and shaped like this there is nothing that could come in the way when cutting on a cutting board)
Great option for when one wants to / has to /needs to carry a small knife imho.

Re: Shaman mini-skinny chop
Nice work! Do you have a photo to share of it closed? And maybe one where the liners exit the butt end? I can kinda see that obliquely on the first shot, but curious how it looks from the back.
Incidentally, been meaning to ask what you use to make your initial cuts before grinding into shape?

When i first saw the title of this post, and having a strong affection for the Shaman, I thought i would be coming here to bemoan the work.Liquid Cobra wrote: ↑Wed Jun 03, 2020 9:41 pm[img] https://www.meme-arsenal.com/memes/437a ... d7c0c1.jpg
I suspended my disbelief a bit and i do quite like the overall redesign.
I generally like the finger guard nub on the forward choil of the Shaman (and had been slightly irked by people getting so cranky about the interference in the lock well and grinding it off theirs. Abominiation! :eek: ), but removing it works nicely on the chop.Wartstein wrote: ↑Thu Jun 04, 2020 2:37 amThis is really cool! :)

Thanks so much Wartstein, much appreciated man!
