HHFSH becomes a user! (pic heavy)

[TheGreyMan]

Had the evening off and decided the HHFSH had gotten lazy looking all pretty in its cardboard sheath.

Caught this 3" sapling looking at me funny and decided to let her have it. All told, the tree took about 50 chops or so. In my fervor I forgot to take any action pics but here is the aftermath.

The upper 20' section of the tree caught on an adjacent oak and became perfectly braced for further dissection

About 20 swings deep.

Once freed, I planted the 4' or so section of the tree in the ground and set to batoning with an old piece of lumber found nearby. The ease with which this was accomplished was amazing.

Total time: about 10 minutes

Back home, I did a more thorough inspection of the edge and found that it still shaved (rather roughly) and had zero damage. The coating took a beating but I'm proud of it.

All in all, I am extremely pleased with this knife's first foray. It is an incredibly comfortable chopper and absolutely melted through when batoned. As for INFI edge retention, I have never experienced such toughness. What a blade!

First time i've seen a FSH(or even a HHFSH) used, looks like another good workhorse for the field.

I've come close to getting one a few times this might just force my hand.

The HHFSH are my favorite of all the FSH series. Good to see her being put to work. :thumbup: My user HHFSH is slacking off in the trunk of my car lately. These pics give me to urge to take her out and beat her

Update: I have touched up the edge using my go-to tool for the job, a ceramic ignition rod from a sodium-vapor lamp, as well as the amazing technique of using a clay-glossy paper roll (see the thread in Maintenance & Tinkering) and the entire cutting surface is hair popping sharp....more-so than before I took it out today. Truly amazing!

Beat her like a rented mule!

If it has a saber grind then it's HHFSH
