Very nice chopoff as always. I was pretty surprised by the results - I hear the word "dogfather" and I immediately think "chopping machine", but the LE version must drop enough weight in its svelte package to compare more evenly with the M9LE.
As much as I love the M9LE, I still think I'd prefer the res-c handle for extended chopping. Vibrations through that rough G10 handle on the M9LE have beaten up my hand pretty good when batoning.
