well lastnight i said we had to break the "mushy" talk <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> & i was gonna take my guard outback to whoop up on it i had a few minutes between customers so i ran out back w/ a pallet before ![[Linked Image from i4.photobucket.com]](http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y146/TUCKERGUN/GUNS/DSCF0493.jpg) posing ![[Linked Image from i4.photobucket.com]](http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y146/TUCKERGUN/GUNS/DSCF0494.jpg) down to business ![[Linked Image from i4.photobucket.com]](http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y146/TUCKERGUN/GUNS/DSCF0495.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i4.photobucket.com]](http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y146/TUCKERGUN/GUNS/DSCF0496.jpg) i have to say... it is much more comfortable to chop w/ than my crash axe. the res-c handles make it alot of fun.

I thought mine chopped pretty well for a 7" blade. What do you think V?

My Hook hasn't seen any use yet - I may have to take it out sooner than I'd though... Great pix! Looks like it cuts deep.

Sure is a beautiful shape on that knife Vance! I love that Guard wave look! It is also quite a adaquite chopper is it not? I bought a Hook for the added nose picker at the handle but the size and shape is all Guard! I love mine too. I know you must remember that Red Kydex I use to tote it around Delavan Wisconsin on my hip. Oh you forgot? Then by all means lets re-visit the Yarg Guards nose pickin brother The Yard Hook! ![[Linked Image from i167.photobucket.com]](http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u151/Prince_of_Peace/Sweetclipsetup.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i167.photobucket.com]](http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u151/Prince_of_Peace/RainwalkersRedHooker.jpg) I sure do love Scrap Yard Knife Companys blades!!! By the way Phillip I can't say thank you enough that Fenix P-1 flashlight that you gifted me with is just awesome! I never knew light could be so enjoyable! Peace.
Some people just never learn.

Sounds fair Vance! My Badger Attack nearly makes me sort of agree with you, but deep down I prefer my SS4...

Great Chopping, Vance! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> Those skids can be tough wood too... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> The guard makes a great midrange knife and small chopper, IMHO. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Great chopping pictures, Vance. As you see, the Res C handle allows full-power strikes. Great job!
Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.
