To create an unnecessary organization, we have categorized our best folding pocket cleavers according to whether they are intended for everyday carry or food preparation. Regardless of whether cleavers are under-appreciated alternatives to a range of new knife uses or just a way to differentiate yourself from the basic drop-points of the knife world, there are some well-made examples available. In my opinion, most people buy them because cleaver blades are a refreshing change from non-stop drop points in EDCs. Cleavers can come in various shapes and sizes, but they usually have a rectangular profile and are blade-heavy.įor a few years, the trend of folding knives shaped like blades has kind of faded away. ↳ Suggestions, Questions, Comments, Concerns, Alerts, Etc.A cleaver is a versatile and highly functional knife that slices, dices, and chops like no other.Knife Related Creation, Modification, And Restoration Forums.↳ Schatt & Morgan Knife Collector's Forum.↳ Robeson Cutlery Company Collector's Forum.↳ Great Eastern Cutlery (GEC) Collector's Forum.↳ Cattaraugus Cutlery Collector's Forum.
POCKET CHOPPER KNIFE INSTALL
I can only remind that it only takes a few minutes to remove the chopper blade and install a clip blade if I find one. There also may be a segment that thinks this is blasphemy to turn a Case knife into a pocket chopper. Also some of you may be saying, "how can you carry such a monstrosity?" It fits real nice into the plier pocket on the brand of carpenters jeans I have. Does not matter, I think they are cool and I always wanted one. I know what you are saying, "that is not a real practical thing".
The heat treating was done as usual for 1095 steel and the blade fit into the Case XX USA 65 frame. 1095 bar stock was used for the blank which was cut out and then the edge put on it with the file jig.
I was going to make the replacement blade a chopper. Then it was like one of those deals where a light bulb appears over your head. Only one problem with this, with both edges sharpened, even when the blade is folded shut, there is a sharp edge exposed that can cut you when trying to reach into a pocket or sheath for use. Someone had modified the clip blade which was heavily resharpened, and ground an edge on the backside to make it into a double edge folding dagger. After looking it over, I decided to go with a rebuild with possibly making a new blade to replace the original clip blade. Recently I was looking in the box for a parts knife that may have had a blade that I could use when I came upon a Case folding hunter that has been residing there for several years. Sundog and I have a communal box of POS knives that contains everything that we receive from the exchanges as well as other things we pick up over the course of the year. SMKW has Marbles and Rough Rider pocket choppers, both Chinese made because of this I elected to make my own. I don't know about you, but from the first time I saw a pocket chopper I wanted one.
