so christmas day me and my cousin went and chopped tons of trees and stuff down and I'm finally posting the pics...
they're kind of in a weird order(sorry)
but here they are...

the end!
sorry there weren't more.

CHOP EM'!!!!

nice knives. I hope to have an RD9 on the way.

Nice pix! Looks like you guys found a dead tree to chop on at some point! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

By the way - I've had the same observation as you've mentioned in other threads about the RD handle hurting your hand from the pommel shape. Its a great handle on the smaller and medium RD's, but doesn't match the comfort of ResC when chopping, huh?

Cool pics. Two great knives.

yeah, for chopping its pretty uncomfortable, I'm sure a good pair of gloves would help though.

and yeah we chopped that one tree down the one the DFLE is in, but I didn't get a pic. (if thats what you meant be dead tree)

it was pretty fun. =]

oh wow... in the second pic(thats at my house) you can see the blue in the backround through the trees, thats the delaware river.

I was talking about the 4th pic from the bottom - looks like a dead standing tree, which is all I ever chop down, personally! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Not that I'm a tree hugger by any means, but my DF and I would clear cut forests if I allowed it to take on live trees! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I'm still trying to figure out a remedy for the Ranger handle when chopping. Gloves are good. I've thought about having Justin round off that part of the pommel that comes in contact w/ your hand, as well. I've also thought about putting a rubber sleeve of some kind over the grip? My RD7 is my favorite 7" knife, and I love the RD handle on it - but my RD9 bites my hand a little...

chop chop chop, all day long
chop chop chop while i sing this song.

i also steer clear of live trees. won't burn and i use a tent for shelter. never had to make a bow, either.

+1 Those trees didn't stand a chance.

sweet
you guys give those blades a workout

wait a second, it was cold in nj on december 25th.
