This chopper is a brute. You could slice the flesh off your lower leg in a heartbeat if not careful. It's also a beautiful art knife with excellent damascus, appealing handle and sexy french curve S shape. Two different versions of the truth. 
The knife above will cut this big rope - numerous times.
Kevin went through all the standard cutting tests including the paper tube cut.
Man, I'd never seen a knife cut like that before.
Kevin is cool.
His cutting demo at an ABS Mid-America Hammer-In a couple of years ago was more like what I would call a 'pro clinic.' You had to be impressed with Kevin's command of the twin bladesmith sciences - physics/geometry of cutting, and metalurgy.
Kevin's chopper came home with me and I've used it extensively, trimming Ponderosa Pine branches for fire mitigation. When you figure out how to use the blade's belly to mechanical advantage, it's like third gear was on my old red Beemer.
And guess what... she still cleans up nice enough to get naked in front of the camera!
