Wow..... What great pix....... If we did print advertising I would buy some of them from you....... Glad you are liking my first shot at "real" knife design...... I have used a bunch of choppers and I am still pretty proud of it and still enjoy using it....... It is always a real pleasure to see the happiness that your trips to your cabin seem to bring........ And the pix bring it all alive....... Thank you!

Thanks Ethan, appreciate it. I put a lot of time into my photos. I believe I took upwards of 300 photos this time, and narrowed it down to these. The BK4 is an awesome blade. Wish I would have tried it out the first time I had one. This one will go nowhere, she's a keeper. :thumbup:
 
Always great pics with a great narration.

Thanks for sharing with us.
 
Awesome pics!

Yes the BK4 needs a little finesse to run at its full potential.
 
Great story & Pic's Warrior...Thanks for Sharin!
Never get tired of the nature & knife trips.
Don't have a 4 yet.....Hmmmm?

It arrived

Awesome!

Just holding it and feeling the forward weight
Working out the 'snap' motion
Little finger and palm or thumb and first finger

It is a chopper...........

More tomorrow when I can get out to some woods
 
Thanks guys, appreciate it. Just returned from the cabin. Did some batonning with the niner, about it. Brother came with me, and we had a good time.

Congrats neeman.
 
Expletive!!!

Took some time off before work to play
Chopping, batoning, cross batoning, and draw cutting

Chops between a heavy hatchet and a machete
Heavy enough to chop, thin enough to slice

Batoned a 3" diameter 3' long branch of fresh pine
Used the recurved end
It followed the twisted grain of the branch and went the whole lenght of the 3"
Used the swell end to baton further in to short pieces
Cross batons to shorten the sticks

There was the broken end of a thicker brand full of crystised sap and fatwood
Used the recurve to draw long thick pieces off the branch end

I am very impressed indeed
A superb woods tool

Kudos to Ethan

I've been thinking of getting the 5 next but I may just got the 4 now. Nice thread

Thanks man. I've never had a 5. Probably should get one before they're gone. The 4 is a hell of a blade. I love using it.
