Anyone have or use one? What's your opinions of it?

Just got one and so far I'm impressed. Haven't had a chance to really do some chopping but I'm betting it's going to do pretty good.

I am pretty sure I'm going to convex the edge through. I prefer a good convex on my choppers. Easy to maintain in the field too.

Thanks. I'll try to post some pics here when I get a chance to really work with it.

I know MoonWilson has one that he speaks highly of. Never heard anything but praise for it, though it's not quite my style. I like my chopper blades thin and wide.
 
I have one and it is an awesome chopper. I did mod it a little by sanding down the blocky/squared off hand guard. It sharpens easily and gets a good bite when you hit that big sweet spot on the blade.. I chopped through a seasoned Pecan wood branch about 4" thick with it fairly fast. Love it as you can tell.
 
my kabar large bowie is by far an underrated chopper as well as the camp knife. Decent buys for the money and super tough.
can't see the cutlass not performing
