Shoot I wanted to be the first to post in the new forum (transfers don't count) but you beat me.

Here's my chopper:

It is one of my favorites. I have many fine choppers, but this one carries well concealed with the sheath it has, so it sees more use in places where I enounter sheeple.

I have a couple of favorites, but I've been mostly using my Culberson Golok lately..

Toss-up between the Bark River Golok and Bruce Culberson's work.

Also have to give a big :thumbup: to the Condor Hudson Bay for being a real yard work trooper. Can beat the hell out of it without fear.
 
The Condor 15.5" Bolo Machete was a great chopper too but the handle just seemed too wide for my hands.

JCav-
Your post has me wondering. Do you worry about beating on the BR Golok and Culberson, or is it that you don't worry about the Condor because of the price?

The Condor really isn't in the same ballpark as the other two in regards to quality, but it's a solid hunk of steel that takes a decent edge and takes it easily. Yes, price has something to do with why I feel more comfortable using it as a trowel, or to chop roots out of rocky soil, or to toss it out of a tree onto the ground instead of carrying it down. I used to own two trucks, one fairly nice and the other a beater. Both were reliable, about the same size, did the same basic job, but my beater truck was inexpensive and all bunged up so I didn't worry about hurting it much. The Condor is my beater truck.
 
Either a Wetterlings Chopping axe, or if we're specifically on knives here, probably this:

This one for me. It's a little thicker than I'd like right now (3mm), but the next run I do will be 2.5mm so it ought to lighten it a bit. :)

Not yet. I've had my hands busy with my little boy, college classes, the horses, and...projects ;) lately but I plan on it. Might take me a while though. I plan on making a bunch of these things. Hits like a ton of bricks and the whole zone between the widest point of the belly and the point of the hook is one huge sweet spot. :cool::thumbup:
