I put my ugliest knife (Skrama 240) to work peeling and chopping off birch bark from logs I had cut and stacked on my driveway at cabin. We have had so much rain this summer that they are wet inside the bark so I wanted to get that off before mold sets in. The Skrama performed great at the task and the oversize handle allows for many grips. I cut through a small 4” and 6” log just to try it out and gripping as far back as possible worked well. Being able to use it as a draw knife is great, and it touched up quickly on my little work sharp. A heck of a lot of knife for the money (for those of us who don’t have a CPK chopper).
