yeah, the swedge helped me resist the sarsquash. the anvil is a great feature. i wish i had a brute.
I didn't care for the swedge either, so it wasn't that hard to resist. A scrapper 7 or 8 would be great.
My brother has a Becker Brute.
He loves it, but had a problem with the coating interacting with the sap in the wood when he was batoning.
Got pretty sticky and made batoning tougher for him, so he's asked me to make it nice and shiny like Horn Dog makes his knives.
That should get rid of that sticking problem I think.
