The Dog Father can do it, but it takes a lot more effort.



Lets see how the new DFLE does: Outstanding! Lighter and livlier in the hand than the original DF, this blade easily does mini-machete work.



Now for the question a lot of folks have been asking, "How does it chop?" Very well, thank you. I used twenty strokes on the same piece of oak. The new DFLE chops almost as well as the heavier Dog Father and better than the Ontario.

With that out of the way, time to take the DFLE out into the yard in search of some real work.
