Since putting a sharper edge on it, it's a much better chopper.

The factory edge was absurd, like most Busse knives I've gotten.



However, I've always argued that the best choppers don't necessarily have to be thick and heavy. A $5 18 inch machete will weigh less than any knife in this test, and out chop all of them.

In fact, the thinnest knife in this test was also the best chopper, by a HUGE margin. The LTC kukri is a beast.
