That looks like you had some fun! Do you still like it over the cpk, how is it to some of the other chopper you have, had? Still no shipping notice for me yet, I guess I’ll go play with my other knives
Thanks for the new pic’s!
The thing I realized about the 2 & the CPK Medium Chopper compared to the INFI MMD for my own personal uses anyway, was that I needed a big knife that I wasn’t afraid to really beat on.
I was planning to use it for some really heavy duty work, sometimes bloody, some times covered in pine sap, etc.
The CPK is an excellent knife & a tool capable of getting very very sharp, but for me the MMD is just more practical in this case for what I intended to do with it. The MMD also fits in my own hands better, that & I am more of a hard user of my knives than a collector & not really one to be buying and putting them away in a safe, or one to be worrying about damaging the edge, finish etc., so once I had both here in my hands & comparing the 2nside by side the BIG finish MMD seemed to me to be the one I would carry and use more often, worry free.
The CPK is a big & beautiful knife and there is also another even bigger chopper coming from them very soon that I will try and get ahold of, but I know I will keep the MMD no matter what. For whatever reason I just felt that the Busse with INFI was the more practical tool for my applications out in the field, out in the woods, hunting & getting fuel-wood, carrying with me in a pack or in my truck, etc.
If I was competitive in knife competitions and I needed a tool for that kind of use, I may have kept my CPK.
Everyone has their own idea of the right tool for their own situation and the intended use, the Busse MMD was the one that I felt like I could really use it, & beat on it, and not worry about anything.
I hope that makes sense, and in no way am I trying to influence anyone away from CPK, they make great knives, are a great company, and are great people.
