Chop House Thick and Lean Cut

[LadyEarth]

To LadyEarth, while I don't see much difference in potential duties for 3/16 vs 1/4 inch thickness in a blade this size, the latter will be a good bit heavier in the blade for powering through a chop... my guess would be ~14oz vs 17oz but it'll feel like more due to the forward balance-point.

Thank you, much appreciated. Sometimes I wish I had the money to wantonly test the crap out of all the new knives that came! But alas, it cannot be.

From playing with the prototypes I am leaning towards the 3/16" version. It is wicked fast in the hand.

This company is proving ruinous to my wallet!

Wait..... there is a choice in finish on the Chop House?

I really like the blade, but I'm not a fan of tan handles.

This is how I feel

Good to know.

Yeah, I think 3/16 it is. Should be light, fast, and bite deep....

The 3/16th version looks like it would be a kick butt barbecue knife, that would be a brisket slicer deluxe.

I like the skinner, but don't need a chopper. Kinda wish the skinner was 1/8" too

See if you can find someone who just wants a chopper and pair up!

This will be a tough call

I picked the wrong time to try and not buy knives!

The more I think about it, I'm definitely getting the 3/16". It's good enough for the 1311, I think it'll work wonders here.

What are the pro and con of each thickness in terms of it's potential duties differences?

Lighter, faster, better slicer....

Or thicker, heavier, more power for chopping.



I much prefer the tan res-c to the black. Res-c's beauty is in the using, not the looking.

I think the 1311's length has a lot to do with it. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure the Chophouse will be great in any thickness.

I'm going with the 1/4".

I'd really like to see it offered in black.

NOOOOOOOOO the wife's gonna kill me! I'd been waiting for a chopper in my price range and this comes along and we really don't have the money for it but she hasn't found my secret knife credit card quite yet...hmm...

 

[storminnorman01]

Awww yeah. Fresh blade design in the yard. I have a B8 in 3\16 love the feel. I think I'm going 3\16. Got a lot a hogs lately need to show the yard some love. That is where it all started for me.

That Chop House looks like a real winner, really tempted by it. If Busse released it with a Fusion handle it would be deadly.
