I second that. Much prefer it over my B11, more effective chopper than a 1311 or Battle Rat (never tried a 911, I'm over-invested in Battle Rats). I can see where the impression comes from, it is clearly on the upper limit of blade that the standard Res-C handle is big enough to work. If your wood is hard and edge obtuse, the peak force coming to a stop will be high and you can feel it. Neither the 1311 nor BR will generate the same force, either in feedback or in biting. The only chopper I prefer is the NMFBM which has a far more substantial handle that works really well for me.
