Please do it, Jerry. I had to run some errands. I have two teenage girls and it is Halloween. I did not have the time to do a full test with batoning and all. But I told the Yard I'd post a comparison as soon as possible, and I did that! You may get different results. I honestly thought the Yard Hook would out chop them both, but as you see, the results were about the same. At least my Yard Hook has a bottle opener. And it was cheaper than the Ratweiler. The RD is priced closer to the YH, but I have had it a few months and never used it until today. I do prefer the Ratweiler, though. It is just slightly blade heavy and the handle is perfect. The Swamp did a good job on this one.
