I want to see an R9 vs 911 head to head chop off. It is kind of like the 511 vs Ratmandu comparisons a while back. These two look really similar. I find the res-c absorbs shock better but the smooth micarta means less abrasion of the skin on my hand. I now understand why people say just get both.

Res-c is fine for chopping, but on batoning I get too much reverb. The BWM is the way to go <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
