My new Chopper

[Ron LaClair]

Just received my new Bolo Chopper from James Helm of Helm Enterprises. James is a former winner on the "Forged In Fire" TV program and resides near San Antonio TX.  www.helmforge.com

You might wonder why I'd want such a big knife. First because I like knives of all sizes and also it'll come in handy for making natural blinds like I use to do many years ago. At 81 years old I've decided to stay out of the trees and just hunt from the ground. Sounds like a good excuse to get a new blade right?

sorry about the poor quality of the cell phone selfie

nice big hunk of steel !
wonder why they never gave out arrowheads as a challenge in the "Forged in fire" series.

That's a beast of a knife!  I bet it came w a sheath that's just as nice!

[Ron LaClair]

It came with a Kydex sheath like this one. I'm thinking a leather sheath down the road.

 

[TIM B]

The leather sheath would fit you a bit better!  You could probably do a leather wrap and change the nylon strap and add some leather fringe and it would look perfect

Awesome blade!! What's the handle material?
Also, I agree that that knife screams for a leather sheath... just my two cents.

Great looking knife.  I like a rough looking blade like that with the hammer marks.  That's just my style.

[kenneth butler]

Yes, a leather sheath built around the Kydex. Added safety with Mountain Man good looks. >>>----> Ken

I was expecting the chopper you ride, my bad

[Ron LaClair]

James's wrap's the handle, then a tight para cord over that, then epoxy over that. Very hard and gives it a good non slip grip surface. My knife is the 2nd one down getting ready for the epoxy finish.

"that's not a knife. this is a knife"

[WESTBROOK]

Yes Sir Ron, thats a good amount of blade, should be just enough!

[Bill Turner]

That oughta get the job done, for sure.  

[ChuckC]

Nice !   I agree with the comment that a leather sheath matches you ( and the knife) better.  Pix when you get one ?

[Pine]

Now that's a knife    

[Hud]

Don't fall asleep with that in your hand.

[Warden609]

[elk nailer]

Heck with the knife, I want one of those moose antler hats.
