I got to help test chop with it. The first couple of swings were done with everything I had...wow what a design...the 2x4 did not stand a chance. I then hit it with the lightest swing I could without dropping the knife. The blade sunk almost as far as the hardest swing,,, unbelievable is all I can say. For its size it is surprisingly manageable and easy to carry.

Don't get me wrong its no 5" EDC. Its a beast with refinement maybe even a hint of social graces would be my description

For what its worth
