well, my carpet here in the living room is now covered with wood chips.

I hadn't had a chance to really test either of my khukuris, and happened to have a KM 15" AK sitting on futon next to me when I leaned over to pick up my book off the floor. What should I see then but a pack of pine stakes that I bought to practice whittling and grinding on(too thick to pretend they're blades, but still good to practice a hollow grind on, as I've still yet to try one of those).

Of course, seeing a pile of wood, and looking at my khukuris, I had to try it. So chopping, splitting and slicing until I had a big mess to clean up, I had fun. Cut up a bit of micarta too. That took some work, luckily it was my homemade stuff which tends to be a bit softer than stuff you buy.

So anwyays, not that there was any doubt of this fact, but these things can sure cut, and they do it without any folding of the edge.

Try chopping a phone book in two with your HI Katana, Mine wont do it completely, but it is fun to try...:D
 
Now why'd you have to say that Dave, I got mess about cleaned up, but now I'm thinking of thatcloset by the front door. And the fact that I just got new phone books last week, but still have the old one on a shelf in that closet. :rolleyes:
 
Man, Tomorrow is another day, dream about it tonight and decide on the best way to slice/chop through them. You only have so many... then tomorrow let loose and make sure you post a thread! ;) :D
 
Good one Dave, been wanting to find something else to chop but wood is scarce in this concrete jungle i live in.

Where i work, one of the office storerooms has a stack of old phone directories almost 6 feet high accumulated from 30 years or so. They wont miss a couple...
