Just wondering, Chris Reeves makes an excellent knife, but the handle would be a slight bit rough on the hands over extended periods of chopping, do you wear a pair of gloves with your knife when taking part in heavy chopping and which knife is best complimented by a pair of gloves....

Greetings Pointy!
Whenever I partake on any heavy chopping activities, I slip on a nice, form-fitting, pair of deerhide gloves. You have a much better grip on any chopper you're using, and it also provides you with some additional padding against shock. You only get one pair of hands, so treat 'em nice!
I talk about my use of gloves in my little 'impromptu' review I did of the BK-9 in the Camillus forums. Click To See The Review.

At first yes, but you can adapt to it. You will not though if you keep using gloves.

unless it's a new knife, i generally don't wear gloves. For hatchet/axe work though I will use a pare of gloves, or any of a few knives that I don't quite like their effects on my hand. and it's nothing wrong with the knives, the main one Ican think of right now is a production folder that was very inexpensive, but EXTREMELY durable, and for how reliable and durable it's been, I can deal with slightly rough/sharp edges, esp. as a folder I rarely use for any relaly extended period of times now that I've quit job I was using it at.

when chopping with the khukuris. Although I wear 'em more for traction. The last thing I want is a 25" suripati flying across the hard because I'm all sweaty. They're a pair of leather thinsulate gloves, forgot where I got 'em. They're the same gloves I use to kill rats to feed to the snake. Other than that I don't wear gloves much.
