Hey, what gives? The crew ate my pork, drank my beer, and left behind all this tree to deal with.
All the boys got in on the fun. Nice chance to compare and contrast various blades. That Condor Golok has a great performance/price ratio. rtiger2 brought a KSF Barkie Machete, that thing is amazing. Ill say it again, I think Scrap Yard should do a true machete in 1/8 SR77. My Waki; with a ghetto satin, the edge thinned and convexed, is a cutting and chopping machine; even better than the Ruck, thanks to its greater weight and reach. The best pure cutter, thanks to the wicked edge, is the Burt Foster Blue Collar Camp Knife (second from right, top). Almost as good, again due to great edge geometry, is the Ban Fusion Anorexic Battle Mistress (far left). btw, that one started as a CGFBM. He ground off the CBT.
Well, thats better, reduced the bulk a little.
That modded Waki really leaves a clean cut now.
We have video, but it may take me a while to figure out how to get it onto the computer, edit, and then post. Probably wont be for a few weeks; got other stuff going on in the near future.
Thanks again to the Hogs for their help.
We plan to go back out to our spot in the woods in fall, maybe late September or October, so watch this forum for an announcement. If you want advance notice, please EMAIL me and I will add you to the NE Ohio Busse Boys mailing list.
