January 31, 201016 yr 5160 Steel 416 Stainless bolsters Amboyna burl handles Weight: 28.8 ounces (about 1.8 lbs) - to hack through branches and firewood Thanks for any comments
February 1, 201016 yr Author ok picture size has been reduced (still nice and large though). the chopper works well - edge has plenty of hardness, but shouldn't chip. I only worked it hard for a few minutes on some dense wood, and it was like wielding an axe there's so much momentum behind it. I'm afraid that if I put a real sharp edge on it, it would wedge itself too deeply into the wood and I'd have to fight to remove it after every swing. but I'm loving this one
February 1, 201016 yr Got one like that. Watch your fingers. Have nicked a few trimming or scliceing up pices for the fireplace, Ken.
February 1, 201016 yr that should work well as a chopper. Personally, I wouldn't (and couldn't) have gotten that level of polish on a user-type knife. But, that's just preference (and lack of ability). The fit and finish are tight and the knife seems designed properly for its use, etc. thanks for showing.
