BMC Chopra (No.095)

The Chopra MKI is 100% handmade in the UK - The Chopra was designed to limb trees, make camp, clear dense trails and process wood. 

Since 2025, we are offering these on a fully custom basis. This means each blade is unique and might be a one-off colour combination. This is No.095.

This Chopra has a Sandblast blade finish with dark Richlite (similar to paper Micarta) Handles paired with ghost blue G10 Liners. 

This blade ships with a hand made Kydex sheath with custom D-ring dangler belt carry and shoulder sling strap attachment. This allows for easy over the shoulder carry.

The 5mm spine has a distinct and effective design. The centre of gravity is concentrated over the blade 'belly' where most leverage and power is needed in a downward chop.

It's made from CS80 Carbon spring steel for fast and effective sharpening and great toughness. It will need sharpening from time to time and in CS80 this is easily achieved.*

The handle butt curves and swells to provide a comfortable and safe handle. It was purposefully designed to eliminate hot-spots. The handle length is extended to allow for extra leverage chops.
 
The 'choked-up' forward grip with generous finger guard and unique ridges on the front of the thumb rise give amazing control for detailed work. 
 
The finger guard is separated from the choil to avoid the index finger accidentally slipping onto the cutting edge. A concern when using a larger knife for an extended period.
 
It is a skeletonised full tang construction offering weight saving for extended use and peace of mind when using this tool day in day out for serious work.
