Chop Off!! Taking out the Trash... #1035850 12/20/15 04:55 PM

The ASH design always reminded me of a cleaver for some reason...let's see if it's chops like one! I sold my Camp Tramp after I got the awesome sheath for the Battle Rat- I know it's not a good matchup, but something to do! Look at the tip on the TRASH, what a monster! First round...11 for the BR. 10 for the Trash?! Say what??!! Did a bunch more and the BR was ahead almost every time..but not by a lot...usually a few more chops were needed by the Trash. Played with it for a couple minutes with some finer work. There's a lot of steel behind the edge and it was harder for me to be effective with it. Easily remedied by thinning the edge though... I mentioned the tip before...wowza- what strength! The Trash is punching well above it's weight class IMHO. Look at this size difference... Dan and the Yard for the win! A few thoughts...I swear the handle is bigger than the BR...and I like it! Wish I had a scale to weigh them both, b/c I may be crazy, but the Trash seems to weigh as much as the BR in hand. Could be the balance being so different, but that's what it feels like to me. Seems like a great blade capable of doing a lot of different tasks. When I get my Survive 7/7 I'll compare that, the Trash and my Esee 6. Happy Holidays Yard! Last edited by RN; 12/20/15 05:30 PM. JYD #109 "I came here for the knives and stayed for the people."

My TRASH was sharpened by Denny and so far I have not had to do anything to it to make it perform the way I want. The handles do feel big and comfy, but I don't have an old Battle Rat to compare it to. My TRASH is a Keeper! It will be interesting to see how it compares to the 7/7! Oh and like Andy has stated I would not feel underknifed if it was my one and only MM Last edited by Massive Metal; 12/20/15 05:42 PM.

I imagine sharpening blade after blade wears thin quickly but my Denny sharpened blades out of this lot have been impressive !!!
