No. Didn't touch it, and I didn't do anything to the Bundock, either. The thinner steel of the RBK coupled with the weight just seems to bite a fair amount deeper....tonight it was Norway maple.

I "struggled" a bit with the rbk. When it bit deep, it was great, but when it didn't, it sent shock waves through my arm. I feel it's a bit too weight forward, if that were possible.

Just ordered my Bundok yesterday!! Can't wait but I am in Canada so I am sure it'll be a while! Thanks to the ladies over at ka-bar who processed my order over the phone! I think this will easily be my favourite becker! Keep it up Mr Ethan!!

Dang, this thing is big!
Good edge, Far better than the RBK. Also better than the included BK4. I think Ka-Bar isn't great with the recurve edges. The 5 is lovely, and was a hit at Knife Night. Then we took the '20 out and knocked the new off.

Put the 20 to work recently (a little slow in getting it posted). First, it cleaned up a good sized branch that fell in the yard...about 8 ft long, and maybe 4" across at its thickest. I didn't take pictures of that... but here it is posing by the remnants of the resultant fire. ]
That gnarly, knotted up thing it's posing with is the last piece of a tree I chopped down last year. It needed to be smaller - don't try this at home.

don't chop that stuff
The chainsaw was too far away.
I did consider the risks vs benefits...and decided to do it anyway, as there are still a few available if I needed to replace it.
I picked the clearest spot.
**I forgot to post the warning!!** I'll edit the post.
I chopped that stuff so you don't have to.
Safety first, my friends.
