Question is, should I post the pics here or in my knife making thread?

I'll be posting pics all through the process.
Pretty sure that is not heavy enough to deal with bison or elk bone

It seems a bit...wee.
Well, this one doesn't look bad for the price... $28.95. Claims 5mm thick 7Cr17mov and 1.61 lbs... I'm sure it's still shit compared to the custom handmade beast you're gonna get!

I would say that is a toss up. Either one, some folks will miss the pics.
Maybe start a new thread.
Maybe we need a member craft area....

I should probably look into being a forum sponsor, then start a thread for showing what I'm working on and what's for sale. Once I've got a few pieces to sell.

I could show you several smaller ones.
As a former Surgeon and reformed ex-deer hunter; the “hunting knives” commonly encountered look absurdly large to me,

Aren’t these cute ?

No. In a thousand years when someone finds the cleaver GZ is making for me I want the speculation on the person that used it to be this in the minds of the archeologists
Not this:
Battery powered sawzall was in a idea I dropped to the P.H. we hunted with. In all honesty a camp hatchet will serve multi purposes. I would also think the outfitter would process either animal for you.
Let me also remind all of y'all about the time I was hospitalized for leaking gas internally. The surgeon suspected a bone had punctured my intestine. After like 5 days of daily scans the gutted me like a fish in search of the culprit. A bone splinterin your gutty works is a very bad thing. Whacking bones with a cleaver or saw can create a problem I wouldn't wish on anyone to have to deal with.
This is why I process my own game. I will be much more thorough than someone else.
When the surgeon first told me what she thought, I thought stupid girl! 1 year later while eating beef back ribs I picked up a splinter in my jaw. I swore off meat for a couple of years/
Now all ribs be they beef or pork the washed under swift moving water.

OK, the steel arrived Wednesday - 1/4" thick 1095. I'll start working on it this weekend. Gonna try to keep it as close to 1/4" thick as I can.
