The WWII models have started to grow on me. Anyone know how good of a chopper they are?
 
Relatively low weight and good price for an 18" Bonecutter, especially one made by the Sgt.

My first HI purchase was a 16" Bonecutter at 33 oz, and this bombproof 18" weighs only one once more!

I am tempted.

They sacrifice a little in the forward weight area, but their sweet spot is probably the easiest to hit. More of a do all blade than dedicated chopper, but will hold its own in that area. The one listed is about perfect for an awesome camping/trekking companion.
 
The WWII sheath is very thoughtful for Southpaws; It's also a rare 3-rivets tang!

Mr.Bone should have been gone by now.

Qeth, Karda is right IMHO. The WWII isn't the mightiest chopper, but wasn't designed to be. It was designed as a general purpose tool/weapon. I love mine. I have two. They are handy to the extreme. They will chop like any big knife, maybe better than most due to the natural khuk shape, but they are not lumberjack tools. I've used mine to chop wood and clear brush/trim bushes. Clearing brush with one is a pleasure. My 16.5" 25 oz. WWII carries so well on a belt, I never feel fatigued or bothered by it. They won't tire your arm either, like a true chopper might. As Karda said, they also have a nice sweet spot. To me, it's just a perfect general use, camp khuk. Everyone should have at least one WWII! Take care.
