I can't find any reviews or videos of the Chop House that was released a while back. I'm hoping you guys that have it could give me your thoughts on it? 3/16 vs 1/4?

Also, if anyone also has a 1311 they could compare it to, that would be amazingggggg :thumbup:

Thanks!
 
I have a 1/4 inch once. Lives in the kitchen. Makes for a very nice all round food prepper. I haven't flogged the snot out of it outside yet, however it is very good at splitting bones for the dawg :)
 
I also have the thick cut love chops very well and does really well at smaller jobs. Choking up its very comfortable and controllable honestly if I was stuck with one knife in the woods( thank God I'm not usely 3 or 4 plus hatchet) it might be the one I would want with how tall the blade is the edge is pritty thin so very slicey

You need to make a chop off with it! Love your vids :)

Thanks for the mini review man! I usually go 1/4 or thicker the better if i have the choice. I'm thinking i want to try a 3/16 version as a large belt knife for the woods seeing as the overall length isn't that huge and the Res-C handle should cut down on the weight significantly.
 
I had a thick and think here at one point to hold side by side... the thick was mine and the thin another's, it confirmed my choice... ;) :D I have yet to chop into a damn thing with it though.

 
Thank you for the pic Andy!!

Also, is it just me or is the saber grind on Mumbojumboo's Chop House a lot lower than Andy's?
 
I beleave someone posted the weight of each in thread while back difference wasn't much 2 or 3 oz if I remember I could be wrong though
 
Have a Thin Cut and it's a wood prepping machine! Great at limbing and chopping. Love the weight and blade shape. Battoning is a breeze and the forward hump is a bonus. Only thing that would make it better is a regulator handle!

The thick cut has a much higher saber grind. Busse used the same pic for thin and thick on the website.

This is also the reason the weight difference between the two is so small.

Thank you for that very important info. Now i'm leaning towards the Thick Cut.

The moss green is the thin, hopefully you can see how much lower the grind starts. I weighed them on my kitchen scale before, I think there was only a 2-2.5 oz. difference in them. I had traded off my thick cut and Ratweiler towards the FBM, that didn't last long, I snapped up replacements off the exchange within a week.

I am doing a Water Bottle challange tonight, I have 144 water bottles and the 3/16" Chop House is one of the contenders. Will have some video footage tonight to post on my YouTube, Facebook, and David Brown's Busse Facebook Group. I did a test run with the Chop House and 3 bottles in a row offered no challange.
 
I scored a thincut at BLADE yesterday, and used it in the garden not twenty minutes after we got back home! This thing is a chopping beast, and took a beating in dirt and rock like a champ. Some rolling of the edge and one really minor chip but otherwise still serviceable! Weight is really far forward on the blade, right under the hump at the "sweet spot".

Better half cutting a bush with her new TGLB before I finished the job with the thin cut.
 
This one almost pulled me into a purchase. I held off, only because I must have sensed the WTF coming!

I don't think there will be much similarity between those. The ChopHouse is a nimble thing, the WTF seems like it'll be a massive brute. Different strokes and all that.

That moss green with the tan Res-C looks slick. Definitely excited that I went with that combo on the BB13.
