I'm not surprised that the Chopweiler outperformed on that chopping test, but I am surprised that it did so by such a wide margin. Visually, the blades look very similar and I would have thought that the (+) of the recurve would have balanced out the (-) of the clip point on the Yard Guard as far as chopping goes.

I saw a comparison of the Swamp Rat Uncle Mojo vs the Original Scrapweiler that yielded very similar results. You would not think there would be a significant chopping difference, but there must be something about the design that gives the Weiler a strong chopping advantage.

Now I must say, the Mojo/Guard is one awesome looking knife. Wicked good looks in steel. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Bring on the Scrap-Weilers!!!
