CampChop

[tobotech]

So, I went camping at Rock Creek (about 25 miles down from Big Bear, CA) To process wood, I brought the closest thing I have to a big chopper- my busse nmsfno.
It had been sent to nate (norcalblacktail @ BF) for a mean convex edge, and looked otherwise unused.
That is not the case anymore.

Here is a part of a log I broke up with a big rock. I decided to chop this section in half.

... and split it

I used it to shred a bunch of precut wood too

no longer "like new"

the folder that went with me on a mountain bike ride. It's smaller compared to the nmsfno

here's a cropped shot of the mid-afternoon moon

The nmsfno was fun to chop with, and was a champ at splitting wood via batoning!
I did have to pull the axe out to split some 12" cedar rounds :grumpy:

ps, the rest of knives I took with me were kershaw folders. Folders were the ones that actually went with me mountain biking and ended up cleaning the 8 trout I caught.

Now I'm really looking forward to a real big chopper

I love my NMSFNO. It's a Good size for waist carry, feels prefect in the hand, and chops fantastically for its size. I don't have a mean looking convex edge like yours, but have gotten mine pretty razor sharp. It has totally wiped away the lust I had for an FFBM or NMSFNO, at least for now. Now I'm looking forward for the Basic 10. It will presumably weigh a good deal less than the NMSFNO and will probably chop like a dream with its satin finish and zero convex edge. Res-C is great on chopper sized blades too.

I'm glad you like your NMSFNO. That's a pretty sweet edge you've got on there too. I've been thinking about sending mine to Nate since the day I got it. Thanks for the pics and overview.

One of my NMSNFO's is our camping knife. Never found it wanting. If I need bigger then I need the axe. They feel great, work great, look great. One of Busse' best. Nice pics.

thanks for your kind comments.

the nmsfno is an incredible camp knife. with the drop leg thigh strap sheath, I hardly noticed it there, even during the act of sitting. I don't think I've ever had so much fun processing wood!

and here is a pic of the knife b4 camping (courtesy of demonic1)

Awesome man. So glad you got rid of the "new" coating. And holy crap that is a great picture of the moon.
