I moved to Abilene ,TX 6 weeks ago and have been unable to do any knife testing until today

One of my patients has 10 acres with acess to 65 more.

I told him what I wanted to do and he told me to chop the hell out of all the Cedar Trees I wanted as he wants to get rid of them and have more Oak Trees.

So I brouight along 3 Knives and had a blast

From Top down

Ivan Campos Chopper
Don Heafner Model 12
Grayman Mega Pounder with Convex edge by Simon

Spent about 30 minutes or so Chopping -I'd hit 10-20 times with one then switch

The Campos chops the best-as expected by it's design.It's .310" thick and chops a a Beaver on Crack. :)

The Heafner is Much better than it's size would lead you to believe.If you own one-you know what I mean.Lighter than it looks and very easy to control.

The Grayman is a BEAST knife,and with a Convex edge chops Great.Would make a great survival knife for a BOB.

No plans to sell ANY of these :)
