Medium Chopper and family

[91bravo]

I decided to do a photoshoot before I mark this knife all up. The handles on this MC feel a little flatter to me than the ones on my HDFK, yet are still very comfortable. The knife itself is very light. Probably the lightest big blade I own. It's quick in hand and chops quick as well. I like it and I'm gonna beat on it some more to see what it can take.

I threw in some of my other big woods blades for comparison.

The handle is very comfortable and contoured nicely!

And what good is a woods knife if you can't baton with it

Gorgeous blade.

Nice quartet.

I'm especially a fan of the 1311.

What do you think the difference <in field> is gonna be between the Med & the Behemoth Chops?

 

[91bravo]

The Behemoth Chopper is significantly more substantial than the Medium Chopper IMO. The Medium Chopper feels quick and nimble. Fast in the hand. Out of the 4 that you see, it's the lightest of the bunch.

Awesome, c'mon pre-order.

[Cheesehead_Slasher]

Way cool! I like the comparisons. I have a NMFBM so it puts the size in perspective for me. I may need a MC now

 

[Revolverrodger]

I hope we get a pre order soon !

Jonny you're making me have cabin fever ... wanting to get out and get the new HDFK and a couple other medium to large blades out ...

was the plan this past weekend but dang if life didn'tget in the way!

At least I can live vicariously through you ... lol.

 

[91bravo]

Take care of life first bro, the woods will be waiting for you when you're done...

Great pics! Thanks for sharing. The MC looks great. The handle looks very comfy, and I dig the OD canvas with black liners. ​

 

[JJ_Colt45]

Think we need to start a petition to get Jonny on FIF Knife or Death ... might be the most enthusiastic contestant they ever get ...

if that fails bribe the judges with some of that fatwood! ... lol

 

[The Shatz]

Love to see one put to work looks great with a little sap on the blade

 

[Revolverrodger]

So how well does it chop ?

So how well does it chop ?

For a lightweight chopper, it's great! Bites deep in green wood and really throws some decent chunks on seasoned hardwood. It's funny that I call it a lightweight chopper, because it's the lightest one of all my choppers. I think I need to give the Behemoth another try!

How does it compare to the busse ?

 

[91bravo]

The Busse is thicker than the MC and significantly heavier. Of course, handle profiles are worlds apart between the 2. For all day chopping, I'd want the MC. For something with a little more momentum on the swing and not using it all day, I like the FBM.

They both have their specific roles then...

Yes! Both will work great for what they were designed for. If I'm going to backpack miles into the wilderness, it will be the MC that I bring, not the FBM! lol
