Knife guy had put the yard guard/camp tramp info for me right after I had bought the YG and stumbled onto a great/inexpensive CT. I tried them both out clearing some decent sized shrubbage and...the CT came out on top- pretty easily. It bit much deeper and quicker. Honestly, i was surprised, with the extra heft of the YG- I thought it would be a destroyer. Maybe b/c of the recurve? I decided to be smart $$ and said bye bye to the YG- it's the CT all the way!
