Testing my 5160 chopper (videos)

[Daniel Fairly Knives]

Here I am testing an unfinished chopper I made.

The knife has a temporary packing tape and paracord scrap handle. It has a rough finish still, it will be finished up later for a member here.

I'm cutting down a small aspen tree, about 15' tall.

Here is a quick one to show off the tip. I forget to show it after this but you can see it in the next video which I filmed last.

On this one I give a seasoned hardwood pallet about all I've got, I wanted to show that the edge would make it through something so tough.

Nice looking chopper, and good choice of steel. What's the handle going to be? It may be difficult to upgrade from the tape.

Thanks! It will be getting double black canvas micarta scales with blue liners.
