I've had one for a couple of years and I've been hesitant to use it for camp style uses such as chopping hard wood, I'm not sure the extremely thin edge can handle it. When I first saw it I figured it would be perfect for that, but, when I got it in my hands I had second thoughts. I know CPM-M4 is good stuff, but, I just can't help but imagine a huge chip of steel flying out of the edge after impacting some hard wood. Do any of you have experience using one as a camp chopper? I'm not talking about abuse here, just realistic camp site duties. Thanks in advance for your responses.
