Id like to start this thread by thanking Elof for allowing me to run some test with his Terror Monkey Hell Razor, i had a blast testing it out and thought id share some of the fun i had.

This was not testing very hard use, Since its not my knife i wasnt going to try and chop through entire logs of hardwood or anything like that. But I did test performance, light chopping, a little batoning, slicing paper, slicing water bottles, etc.

Im comparing it with the chopweiler. Im not trying to point out one is better than the other, i simply prefer to test 2 or more knives at a time and these 2 are about same in size.

As you can see the Chopweiler and the HR are very similar in size. Although the choppy is thicker stock.

Grabbed a small log...

And took the same amount of swings with each blade...

A little batoning, notice the way the blade is shaped on the HR makes it easy to use a baton and split wood.

Grabbed a slightly larger log

Choppy's turn, due to the twist and knots of this log i didnt want to use the HR on this one, only because its not my blade, but im sure it would of also work well.

Both knives work well batoning.

Time for a few videos. Im not a camera man so please excuse the poor footage, but i find it easier to get a feel for a knife when you can see it performing.

Thanks bud!! I had a lot of fun playing with them!!

And the choppy is definitely one of the best camp knives to come out of the swamp, or anywhere else for that matter in my opinion!!
 
Awesome!! I love my Military Overrun Hell Razor Terror Monkey (I just burned 20 calories typing that whole name out) --- great vids and good to hear from you ��
 
Love the vid bud, and I am not sure if I have ever told you this or not but thank you so much for your service. Although I do have to admit I only went to this thread because Chopweiler was in the title :)
