speaking of chopping down trees...

[Mrs. Major Kong]

Fred and I have lots of trees around the house that we're taking down. Today, we decided to bring out the big knives.

First we used the NMFBM: ye old standby, but then brought out the 1311.

He was having so much fun, I had to give it a try, too.

Honestly, the 1311 was so much fun to use, we didn't get to the other two. Happy chopping!!

Folks, that 1311 is a chopping champ. Light, fast, lots of momentum. It made easy work of maple and poplar saplings up to about 6" diameter. The Mrs is pretty lethal with it too

Looks like a great time, good to see them knives working. The 1311 is on my short list.

I havn't had a chance to use my 13-11 yet, but the 11-11 seems to be about the same weight. I'd guess they would be pretty close in a chop off. Nice pics...looks like fun :thumbup: :thumbup:

Great pics! I got excited when I saw the NMFBM in the first post and I knew it was going to be a good thread.

The 1311 was born to chop, IMO. I stripped mine and it chops much better. If they made a satin 1311 I'd probably have to go work the corner... Sometimes I don't take it out to chop with the rest because I want my other choppers to get used too

I do wish that Dan would make the 1311 available again... what a great knife/machete!

Great pics! Can't wait to see that pumpkin MOAB put to use when you get it. I almost pulled the trigger on it myself as I love dealing with Russ almost as much as I love my MOAB's but I fell a few dollars short at the time.

1311 is a winner. Nice job:thumbup:
