Hyde Cleaver Pass Around

[BillHanna]

Anyone interested in maybe a week or so? I have another Big Boy to bust out in a couple weeks, so it’ll sit by the wayside for a little.

Requirements are vibes. I’ll just pick and choose how I wanna, if this gets traction. 450USD valuation. Leave the belt sander in the garage; it’s 1075. No stone under 1K; you’re not reprofiling. Just have fun chopping with a big ol chopper.

 

[M1k3]

Got my chunk of sidewalk ready.

I mean, got my powered 1k grit spinning wheel ready....

Er, I meant I'm in!

 

[CodyJ]

If you do this pass around count me in 100% been interested in his cleavers for so long!


Yours is the big boy he made recently? @BillHanna

 

[brimmergj]

I would be up to give it a try. Henry makes great knives and I've been having thoughts about cheating on my gyutos with a cleaver recently

 

[Gshep91]

I’d love a shot with it! I’ve always wanted to try a cleaver and have yet to. Would be a very neat first experience

 

[tostadas]

I'd love to! I wanna see how big n thicc u like em... For science.

 

[timebard]

Totally in.

 

[Justinv]

I’d like to participate. Interested in the maker and trying a quality cleaver. My wok shop cleaver wasn’t up to snuff for rectangle month.

 

[Jville]

Pretty please, I want to give it go.

 

[deltaplex]

I will 100% breadknife it to flatten the profile, thin and convex the grind and then put a new edge on, it the moment it arrives.

I would like to experience how it finely slices produce.

I just hope this goes better than Jedy’s

 

[M1k3]

I just hope this goes better than Jedy’s

And faster than Kippington's

 

[BillHanna]

Tell me about it.

 

[A.Malcolm.ations]

Definitely interested if I can join! I miss big choppers

 

[BillHanna]

I’m hoping to have some fun with it this weekend, then decide who’s in. I gotta have my fun first.

I’ll probably only have 5-6 people. That gives me about 7-8 weeks with my other new toy.

@M1k3 @tostadas @Jville @deltaplex @Malcolm Johnson @timebard


I need locales to figure out the order

 

[M1k3]

Los Angeles (San Pedro specifically).

 

[Jville]

Jacksonville, Florida!

 

[BillHanna]

Jacksonville, Florida!

I’m shocked!

 

[timebard]

SLC, UT

 

[deltaplex]

a little north of the Twin Cities, flyover country

 

[A.Malcolm.ations]

Wow, thanks! SLC, UT.

You sure about that last guy? Seems kinda sketch to me...

 

[cooktocut]

I would love to try out another rectangle, if you’ll have me. I’m in Florida, so putting me in rotation after jville would probably work best.

I just hope this goes better than Jedy’s

I have a lot of work today, so instead of going digging, anyone care to give me a brief summary of what happened?

 

[SolidSnake03]

If it’s not too late I’d be happy to join. I’m in La Vista Nebraska

His Isas got decently tipped en route to the first person and then the box got smushed en route to ~the fifth person, putting a decent warp in the knife, and put a pause on the passaround for it to get worked back to true and cleaned up before resuming.

 

[BillHanna]

I told Hyde I was doing this, and he’s interested in what the six of you think.

 

[BillHanna]

On its way to California

 

[M1k3]

Arrived safe and sound! Touched up the edge on my slab of concrete new to me Shapton Pro 8k. Initial thoughts are the same as @BillHanna's. A bit thin, especially at the spine, but usable nonetheless.
