So I took a FBM and a FFBM out today, needed to do some much needed yard work and I just wanted to say, I forgot why these things go for so much. I've seen the videos and read the reviews but it's one of those things that when you chop, you learn to appreciate them for them.
Two draw backs though, my shoulders are mad sore. Are all HOGs in shape except me? Why am I the only one that brings it up, wow. I got a good workout in and it's going to be sore for a while, I can feel it already. Don't you worry, the blade can handle anything you throw at it, you just need to be careful not to pull a muscle.
The second drawback is this is not a toy. It's seriously sharp and you should be straight when you do things. Either the FFBM or the FBM are not light little knives, they will cause some serious damage if you chop the wrong things. I don't know if I would drink and use one of these, I could see some serious injuries happen. So think twice, cause the second you lose respect for it, you'll probably get hurt.
This is not the first time I used a FFBM, I have used a FFBM and CGFBM. But I think between the FFBM and the FBM, they each have their advantages. The FFBM had mag grips which start to lose their grips after a while, too thick for my hands but the FBM had standard G10 and being a thinner blade was a better feel. So the FFBM for heavier and thicker things that need chopping, and the FBM for lighter stuff. I'm happy though. I'd rather hire someone else to do it but glad I got the work done and still impressed with the BMs.
No pictures, no videos cause it was work that needed to be done, not a chopoff. :D
 
they sound too heavy for public use.
send them to me and i'll dispose of them properly. :eek:
;):D:thumbup:
 
Aren't you a body builder:confused: Glad to see you're using them. Not just collecting and flipping :thumbup:
 
well Dan good to see you used some infi today. make it a 4 day a week chop workout and you will be in great shape!!

I think what you experienced is normal....most people don't write about the physical aspect of it. considering most guys here on BF aren't professional lumberjacks by trade. the physical toll is just underplayed!

cheers J
 
Nice write up :thumbup: Adding a couple of pic's of the knives used though would be welcome :)

The reference to "pythons" .... have they both got snakeskin grips ?

No, I said pythons because I got inducted at Blade 2010 by Jerry and my given Hogname is "Hog Python"
I'll see if I can get some Picts of the two BM that I used tomorrow. I may work out but no exercise that I do in the gym is anywhere near the same motion as used in chopping.

Maybe I'm remembering wrong but I'm pretty sure it was "Porky Pythons". :cool:
 
Lemme understand this. You use the FFBM & FBM. And you can upgrade/change your given Hogdom name?
IE: Porky Pythons upgraded to Hog pythons!?!!
;););) I kidd,I Kidd.
Nice write up! How about wearing a pair of the mech. gloves next time?

Trust me, I was wearing gloves and I'm very glad I did, trust me. Halfway though even if it was hot out, I went in for full length pants and long sleeve shirt...
 
I have to explain the "Porky Python's".....(Still makes me giggle)

When I first met Dan at the Easton show (I had spoken to him numerous times on the phone) he came up to me at the show in the hotel and had the greatest line I have ever heard..:):):)

Dan (Liu Kang)...Do you know any Vets?
Amy.(I am thinking military) Yes many...Why?
Dan (Flexing his biceps) cause these pythons are sick


It was great...so about 20 minutes later my phone rings and it is Boss Man and I tell him what Dan said and he is roaring with laughter and says that is AWESOME...

So it has been a running thing at the shop..so when induction names were to be figured out...We thought of "Porky Pythons" cause to this day it makes us smile....

You gotta know Dan cause he pulls it off so well:thumbup: ...One of the highlights of the show.

Do not work so hard Dan you might need to call a Vet to take care of those pythons:)

XOXO,
Amy-0
 
Anyone got pics of Dan doin his thing?

I never saved any and all I've got is this, which makes me think of him every time:
