Photos,.... 500 magnum, 440C and Rain....

[peppercorn]

It has been raining quite a bit lately so instead of stressing about rust on my A2 blades I reached for this one, the 500 in 440C, instead. It is nice to not really give the rust potential another thought on a rainy day like today as I was out for most of the morning and didn't wipe it off once.
As for chopping, the mass of a 1Lb 12oz knife really plows through the wood!
I may have mentioned it before but the grip on Jeremy's knives, even this beast, are just incredibly ergonomic. They make me think of a custom made orthotic, but in the form of a knife handle custom fit to your hand.

Great pics of a cool knife maine. I would be more worried about the camera getting wet, than the knife.

Lol!

Someday fug, you will have to let me in on where you come up with all of your graphics.


.
Thanks guys, for all the input.



trog, I was gonna take the pics using an umbrella but it slowed to a drizzle and I was able to get these without it.



The other thing I forgot to mention is how much grip the canvas gives when wet, just amazing!

Those are great pics Peppercorn! I love the shape of the handle and grips on that blade. Jerm continues to improve his skill set.

Thanks large and rutmio!

After using the ffbm most of the spring , summer and fall for all kinds of chopping I just can't say enough for how much more , ergo, Jeremy's grips are for my hand. I was continually getting blisters, especially on my index finger and thumb, as a consequence.

Shock absorption is another subject I haven't covered. I noticed that there is absolutely no perceivable vibration when chopping with this knife! And after a couple of hours of chopping that becomes a major factor in overall usability.

I hear ya... I was chopping with a cgfbm on a farm last weekend. I need to modify or have the grips changed for optimal performance. Never chopped with a Horton yet, but I'll have a biggie within a year. Looking forward to tryin it out.

I don't really fully understand the vibration, whether it's the 440C or the thickness of the steel or the slab/handle design or something else altogether. I just thought it was cool that it wasn't there.

That's cool you are going to be getting a big one. What are you getting?
