I build all my knives from old carbon sawmill blades, non tipped. Most of them are 22"-36" in dia.

So is there any forging involved or is that all stock-removal work? Sorry for all the questions, looks like you do some great work!

DuckCoach I do not forge. Those old blades are pretty hard already. It's just stock removal as you say.
Cast I really don't know that there is a proper grind angle on a cleaver. Some have a slight bow and some are just a flat straight blade. Guess it just depends on what you want or like the best.

I got $450 for that one Snake Wrangler but only because of the handle. Could do one cheaper without the brass bolsters.
