Oh now it is fun to chop with this one. This is the Camp Tramp. The slight forward blade heavy feel makes this one a natural chopper. And that Res C handle is so easy on the hand. The CT bites deep with each chop. And with the convex edge I put on it, it will slice as well as the Barkie. Natually, it batons and splits wood well, but the handle is not as durable to beat on as the micarta one on the Bravo. The Camp Tramp is just a pure joy to use, and it holds its edge a long time.
