I've just spent about 2 hrs splitting wood with my axe and Chopweiler and had to post this.

I've had my Swamprat Chopweiler for 2-3 years now and during the colder months use it every day. Many people don't like to batton but I still find it the easiest way to make small kindling. I deliberately included a couple of the knots I'd beat the Chopweiler through in the pic, believe me I smash this thing with all might strength using a monster baton to get through some of the gnarlier stuff.
Anyway to get to the point in all my time with this knife I have still yet to sharpen it. Other than a quick strop on my pant leg that's it. For some reason today when I'd finished my chopping I decided to test the edge...this thing still shaved hair of my leg !!!!!<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

I've never been one to buy into all the hype over some knives but the edge holding and toughness of this blade blows me away. If ya want a top survival knife that will never let ya down you won't go far wrong with one of these !
