Here is some shots of some bits of tree branch i cut today with that A2 bowie i forged. Cut pretty well. the handle definately needs some sort of wrap, it gave alot of blisters on some of the sharper corners. I will file it and then wrap in leather or parachord. but other than that is performed very well IMO.

Small one to start with

CRAPPY edge shot, looks dulled in a few spots but that is just glare and sap.

Cut a nice little stack of firewood.

More to come, I will wash it clean and keep testing it, 1" manila rope is next.
