New Chopper

[Barry the Bear]

I ordered this early this year and received it about 2 weeks ago, it is a Chopper I had made by Ellis Custom Tools, blade is just shy of 6 inches and made in L6 Steel with desert ironwood scales.

Nice! I like the shape.

How thick is it? How heavy? Where's the point of balance? I like my choppers about an inch forward of the handle

According to the calipers it is 4/25 inch thick or .16 inches, the balance point is right at the top of the grip, I have no scale to measure weight I feel like it might be about 17 oz

Seems all wrong for a chopper. Balance should be 2+ fingers forward.
