Finally decided i needed a Zilla, and I've always loved the looks of the Test Team versions, so I pulled the trigger on one and received it the other week. I had to put it to work right away, chopping up a tree that had fallen over in a recent storm
(bad cell pics, but I didn't have a real camera with me)

This thing is a MONSTER chopper, but the machining on the handles seemed to be a bit aggressive and blistered my finger, so for extended chopping comfort, I sanded the handles, super comfy now

I did get a good sweat going chopping up that tree, but I got it done quick, so I guess it's a trade off
 
Great job on the handle! What did you use to do it?

I love Khukris and that one being Infi and having hand shaped pumpkin mags, may just be the ultimate Khuk'!
 
Wow, the scales look great! You did a beautiful job sanding them.:thumbup:
 
Awesome knife and pics. Have those same grips on my NMSFNO and they are great looking in person.
 
THAT is AWESOME!!!!! It's what these knives are meant to do. Great to see you using it properly and enjoying it. Bloody awesome!!!!
 
very cool post! i love how they relax by swimming down south. up here it's a nice dip in the creek. keep posting the splitting pic's brother.

I got it most of the way done with an 80 grit belt on a belt sander, then finished it off with several different grits of emery paper, it's one of those usage mods that ended up looking awesome and feeling amazing in hand
 
Real looker there!

I will have to try out a TT some time to decide if I like it better than my KZII.
 
Thanks guys! I can't believe how much more comfortable the sanded slabs are for chopping. I snagged a pretty good size branch/ tree trunk so I might do a quick chopping video today

That's a decent video. The bird isn't nearly as wicked as the KZ. :cool:
