Here is the 2nd video. :)

Just a slight difference in performance you think. :D

Yeah there's quite a difference, you actually got down to the meat of the tree that time. That added weight really helps out.
Boy Porkshankerson looks like your really working up a thirst. :D :thumbup:
 
you better start using your left hand a bit for your reviews bro or you are going to end looking like quasimodo !!
 
They say it ain't over till the Fat Misstress Sings! :eek: That's a heck of a big difference. :)
 
Thanks guys. :D

Like I try and tell people FAT is the real deal when it comes to chopping. :thumbup::D

Thin is what? ;)

What was that? ;)

I know it can, I just wanted to remind some people and make a point that thick is were it's at. :D :thumbup::cool:
 
If you want to chop, buy an axe or kukri. If you want to do knife tasks, buy a BWBM.


Thin is most certainly where it's at.

I have Khurkies and an Axe too. ;)

HI Khurki videos will be made soon along with the NMFBM video after it gets here. :D

Love the Vids. I did a chop off between a machete and my FBMLE. The Machete whooped some behind until I hit really hard wood and then the FBMLE just kept on going.

I would say for soft live wood a thin machete will eat up a thicker shorter blade but it is when you are dealing with HARD WOOD that the thick monsters really shine. Just my 2 cents:cool:

Oh I know that, a Machete with those long blades with do some damage on soft wood. :thumbup:

But like you said on the hard stuff it's different, light thin blades just bounce off instead of really biting like the heavier blades will. :)

I gave up my matchetes for Khurkies a long time ago because of that.
 
It seems as if we completely agree:)

I never gave up on machetes though.

I only use an axe for splitting wood.

I use a chainsaw for the big stuff.

If I need to trim up the trees around the house the machete is KING!
 
I have thinner bladed Khurkies with long blades to take the place of a machete when needed, still a lot thicker than a machete though. :)

2nd one down is the machete replacement.


 
I never have used Khurkies. I probably should try one out:thumbup:

Maybe when Busse releases a production version;)
 
I love this thread. Thick choppers, thin choppers, long and short ones. I think I just love choppers. :D
