A little chopping comparison !

[pitdog]

As I was fetching some firewood in tonight I decided to do a little chopping comparison between my SRKW Chopweiler and my JK Knatchet !

First a shot of them both together, as you can see the Chopweiler is slightly longer and made from 1/4" stock compared with the Knatchets 3/16" stock......

After 100 ( give or take a few) chops with my Knatchet I had this....

And the same amount with the Weiler gave me this....

Nothing really in it eh ! I inspected the edges after and there were a couple of minute dings in the edge of the Knatchet ( almost too small to see but could be felt with a finger nail), I gave the Knatchet 10 swipes each side on some wet and dry and the dings were gone and blade shaving hairs on my arm with ease again !
I feel with the Knatchets slicing ability it is a more usefull all round tool.
Anyone looking for an indestructable survival knife will not be dissapointed with a Chopweiler though !!!!:thumbup:

I like the Knatchet :thumbup:

I would probably change a few things, but I imagine you probably would too if you had it to do again. I doubt I could resist the urge to scale it up a little for one thing

If you've decided that Chopweiler is just taking up space that would be better filled by a couple of Benjamin Franklins, just let me know

To be honest my Knatchet is probably my only knife where I wouldn't change a thing !
