The BWM was a good buy. I'm cutting plenty of firewood with the logs I'm finding laying around and finding a reason to use the blade. Right now, it being used more than the Chris Reeve Mountaineer 1 I have in one of the pics standing next to the BWM. I had also provided some info on the pics, but it didn't come out. The near 4 inch diameter wet logs took 100 cuts to get through and the dry 3 inch one took 50 cuts without breaking a sweat. I also baton one log, which only took 4 hits. Overall I'm having fun with this blade and highly recommend it as a survival blade that can slice and chop.
