Just went whacking on a 2*4 that was a small piece from a deck in Pilot Town, LA that had been submerged. Stuff was actually pretty hard judging by what would have happened relative to a fresh 2*4...
Battle Saw was most efficient. M9LE was super impressive, and all the blades would have eventually made it through. The Miller Bros at .213", 5.5" past the choil and 15.2 Oz and the DS8 were pretty comparable. The B8 and the ASH2 were great, and the HHFSH was a beast - it was almost as effective as the Battle Saw.
All this was by feel, and not counting strokes but spending about the same amount of time and force with each blade - I was not going all out, just forceful swings.
Oh yeah - BBLE is a champion and chews it up, one of my all time favorites.
Running my fingernail down the blades, there were some minor catches, although all of these blades remained super sharp, either via factory or modded edges.
No roles, chips or dings, not a hint, and either a cleaning to take out mcro debris, a strop or a ceramic and these blades are back to pristine. The M9LE shaved hairs, and i did not test anymore for fear of slicing the veins that started to appear.
Not extreme by any means, its just cool to see the edges were virtually untouched and by human eye, you could not tell they had cut anything but paper...
Anyways, made some notches and had a little fun before skeeters got too bad, and my buddy had just finished making some deer/boar sausage tacos, so I did not want to be rude.
Here are some pics, no order or relevance to blade placement and notches...it was just a little quick pre-dark fun.
