I am so glad this has been bumped up. Maybe my Busse could do this, but none of my other choppers could pass this test. Truly amazing steel! As far as the Cold Steel challenge, I would not worry about that. Carbon V is a great steel and I personally like some CS knives, but Dan's version of S-7 is in an even higher class of performance. The Dog Father may not be the prettiest knife in the world, but that demonstration of its power is beautiful! Please bring on the LE!
