As far as what to chop, there is a tree that sits right behind the fince line of my house the I cut w/the chainsaw to make room for the pool. It has been downed for about a good year since it is behind the fence, so it has been out of sight and mind. How good does it chop and bight into hard seasoned wood?

It should arrive by Wed. Maybe if you use it just right you can turn it into a real collectable by smoothing out the entire crinkle finish

Really, REALLY, REALLY well!!!
A friend and I were whacking at a seasoned root once with a BM-E and a cheapo dulled (but considerably heavier) hatchet. We got to a point in the hardness of the wood that the hatchet quit working completely - no chips coming out of the cut and no cutting deeper into the wood. At that point we switched to the BM-E.
The Mistress just kept on knocking out chips from the cut (albeit small ones, this wood was %*$^@#!!! hard) and cutting its way deeper and deeper into the wood. That session made me a believer in the BM's as "Never Say Die!!" choppers. For a big/little knife combo the big one is easy - a Battle Mistress.
Oh BTW, many congrats on getting a Battle Mistress. Hope it brings you many many years of happy whack & bash and slice & dice.
