Choppers...

[GregB]

I love a big ol INFI chopper, but tend not to tote it much. I've held/owned/used the following:

5/16" straight handled Steel Heart
BME
1/4 SJ
3/16" SJ
ZTNO
E NO
Basic 9
SJ Tac

I loved them all, some I liked more than others. Just got my SJ Tac recently and it is by far one of the best feeling 6" Busse's I've ever held. I was wondering if anyone had used it to chop and if so how it compared to the knives listed above.

I'm looking for a great 6" chopper, because most of the places I camp/hike have signs posted restricting blade length to 6". So, as much as I loved the Basic 9 and the other larger blades, I'm trying to compromise on a 6" to stay legal and avoid any hassle.

I'm thinking that the SJ Tac may be the best chopper of the bunch, although the E series NO might be better, but to me it doesn't feel half as good in the hand and I doubt that it would cut/slice half as well either.

Again, would love to hear input from users.

I have not held the SJT yet so I can't comment on it's abilities but it seems like it would be hard to beat the NO-E as a 6" chopper. With the way the Ergo handle slopes down to give you a bit of leverage when chopping, and I'm guessing the NO-E is more blade heavy. I could be way off though. I'll find out when I get my SJTLE :thumbup:


WOOHOO!!!! I am so excited! I can't wait for the SJTLE's to start shipping!!
:thumbup:

OH YEAH!!!!!!!!

Yeah Stinky, if you don't get any in the config we have been discussing, hold an LE for me!

Skunk,

Just send me my Heavy Duty and I'll shut up about the SJ
