I think I read about a torture test of the chopweiler but I cant find it. As I recall they chopped through a cinder block with it and it still had enough edge to shave/cut paper. Its been awhile so I'm a little foggy. Anyone know what I'm talking about or where I can find it?

BTW I think the Chopweiler is going to be my first blade from the Busse family. then a SS4 or a DFLE. I figure those 3 blade will handle almost anything I need at a reasonable price.

good choice, i don't know where the test is but i am sure someone here will

battle rat

I am glad I picked up a pair of Chopweilers ...

I just picked up an original weiler, should be delivered today. I think I am going to have to go out and do a comparison thread with my Chopweiler. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I would like to see that.

yes, I would think the chopweiler should have the same strength and edge retention as the battle rat.

I can't wait to see that!

I may try to pick up an original, if I ever get a chance. Or if not another Chopweiler! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

That ad brings back memories, wish I had known then what I know now! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />
