OK, sorry about the delay, but we first-time videographers are having some issues. :( The above is the first of 7 or eight. This is the only one uploaded so far. I will add the extra ones in this post as they become available and will make a new post announcing the addition. I hope this works out ok.

I mention it in the video, but I want to once again, thank Moose for his generosity in sending me a pre-production BK-4. You might notice in the video above, I call it a KB-4 - mike fright. Brad Pitt, I ain't, only to look at. :D

Doc

OK, so part 2 - I thought it would be interesting to get Phil's initial impressions on video, since I had already fondled :redface: it for awhile.

And just a correction, apparently we had 50 video takes that through deletion, editing, etc. are boiled down to 12 so stay tuned.

Doc

OK, I can only load 2 more because #5 is not yet uploaded, so, the chopping comparison. We didn't video a ton of chopping because you've already seen a lot of it with gavco, thrill, etc., and that can get boring pretty quickly, but we do try to point out the differences, ...............or do we???? :D

Apparently you can only put three videos in a post, so I will have to add them in a new post(s).

OK :) I'm convinced. Now who volunteers to tell my wife for me and explain why I need *another* knife. Especially since my stitches still aren't out from my last encounter with the BK12.

Doc: Will you be stripping the new one to match the older one? Might make for a more even comparison, as the extra friction will surely make a difference in certain tasks, no?
 
Goodness me. Doc...... You have a great screen presence, and both you and your interviewer seem to be naturally talented at making a video presentation. I was sincerely impressed.

They probably sent you that knife 'cause it is a bent one. Everyone knows that a knife should be straight :)

I don't need another knife, but I've long admired the BK7 and BK9. I'm guessing that the Machax would out-chop a BK9, but I reckon the straight knife would be more useful to me for general hunting and trapping. I'd be interested to hear your opinion on 'straight vs curved'. Maybe this will get a mention in a later episode.

Good stuff Doc. You may have found your niche. Sure beats tv.
 
I'm looking forward to this mini-series! I'm on the fence about the machax.
 
So far so good Doc, I'm subscribed and waiting for more :thumbup:

I'm excited to hear the opinion of someone who's had 20 years of experience with the Machax design.

actually, in straight out power-chopping the 9 will outchop the 4. But just by a small amount, the 4 is still a good chopper.
 
WOOOOHOOOOOO!!!!

I can't wait, ya'll. Not sure how many of you know, but I'm VERY interested to see the comparison to the Cinci Era Machax compared to the new one. Of all that I know, Doc would be the one to know.

And Doc, take no offense but thank gawd there was no tank tops. :D
