"See... the problem here is that... my little brother, this morning, got his arm caught in the microwave, and uh... my grandmother dropped acid and she freaked out, and hijacked a school bus full of... penguins, so it's kind of a family crisis... so come back later? Great."

Great friends, indeed! I'm sure we get a WIP with a lot of pix. What is the original handle alike?
Whatever the slabs are they are dry, dry, dry. I'm thinking of ironwood for a replacement after rounding the spine and easing the finger guard some. Balance point is about 2.5" in front of the guard - it's a ridiculously long knife by my standards.
black walnut slabs on the Gustav, lightly sand it and then soak it in mineral oil over night and watch what happens.
I haven't lived the life I wanted, just the lives I needed too at the time.
I'll give that a try Son - muchos thanxos
I imagine this beast being used with some kind of claw grip in front of the bolster, like some hold a cleaver, by the spine. Than that balance point would make a lot of sense.
