Yep that's one of the variables that is hard to quantify. As in how does the width of the notch effect the cut. I'm not really sure if I just started the notch for the B11 a bit wider or if it was the DF had more control. I do not have a lot of experience chopping. It was fun though. I do know that the DF felt really good and comfortable. If anyone gets the chance to get a DF at show or Ganza pricing I would not pass it up.
