For chopping, I imagine the DFLE and Brkt Golok will remain my two favorite yard work knives. For many years an Ontario Survival Bowie held that honor. I don't doubt that the M9LE could do as well or close, but it's just too pretty for that. After using it some, I imagine mine will sit on a Bowie stand in the living room for all to admire. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />

As for the FFBM, that's the heavy artillery, for splitting logs and such. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
