So after my BK2 came I got to work on it that night and quickly stripped it, did a ferro notch, and made some scales. I had told myself the 9 was next, however now I'm not so sure. I mean I do want a BA chopper, and the 9 fits the bill. But now it sounds like the machax will be coming soon, and that is for sure a BA chopper. So what do I get? Keep in mind that I will end up with both, but I am broke and saving for a ski trip. I am so torn, I could get the 9 now, or WAIT for the machax. Oh yeah, pics of the 2 of em side by side might help me make up my mind :D
 
Get the 9 now it is the king! Then when the 4 comes around get it.
 
Yeah, I'm not known for my patience. And the 9 is sweet, I still want side by side pics though :D
 
Slightly larger but chops far better, actually it's amazing. I wish I had one years ago.

I know I love my 9 but I do have my eye on a machax!
 
That's perfect :) At least they are not both available cuz that would make it even harder.

and remember, technique technique technique!

one might find that one is better for you than another.

i've seen someone declare one tool garbage while another person proceeded to wipe the floor with the others (including small axes). really individual it seems.

Well then I will just have to get both and find out(witch is pretty much guaranteed anyways)
 
Didn't the powers that be specify the machax for 2-1? 8 days, tick tock tick tock. Freaking out? I have a stack of green papers I keep wishing will turn into shiny black machaxes, no luck so far. Must wish harder.
