View Full Version : WITHDRAWN: Joe Calton Chopper
Up for trade is a Joe Calton (http://www.caltoncutlery.com/) Leaf Spring Chopper:
This is a GREAT blade, with a 14" cutting edge, 19.5" Overall Length. Handle is Leather slabs wrapped in jute, and then soaked in epoxy. Leaving a very hard core, no slip grip that feels great in your hand. This thing swings like a machete, with the cutting power of a camp axe. I used it to process wood 3 nights in a row in Vermont 2 weeks ago, and the edge will still take hair off my arm.

Not looking for anything specific in trade, just posting this because it deserves an owner who will actually use it.

Starting to think you really are a Ninja!
Filipino Bolo's or any large forged leaf spring Knives are my kind of blades!
Wish I had something to offer!
Let me dig in my closet to see what I got??? I have to try for this!
Go ahead and make an offer.. I'm in the process of packing (we're buying a house) I don't want to worry about this bad boy getting packed up and forgotten because I never use it.

Still thinking what I got???

No worries!
This one is a little longer (4")than the other Jute handled one on his site.
That being said. I'd value it at about $200 in trade value, or I could move it to the FS section @ 185 shipped
This toy needs a home. Most of the rest of the gear closet is packed up, except for this.
Listing this in the FS section as well.

You've got my interest. Have anything your looking for in particular?
Open to pretty much anything.. This blade needs a home, it's far to nice to be sitting in my gear closet, or a box.
I'm actively seeking a Bridge Hammock, or a winter tarp. and I'm willing to sweeten my end if I have to.
Bumping this up one more time.. before it gets packed.
I found a winter tarp, but I'm still seeking a bridge hammock (with or without net). But i will consider anything in trade for this.
