Doc, chopping logs doesn't even come close to phasing my dogfather, even with the thin edge. It will easily outchop bigger, heavier knives with thicker edges and works about as quickly as a hatchet, while being suited to other jobs the hatchet doesn't work as well for like clearing vegetation. If I expected to chop logs all day I'd bring my two handed axe rather than the dogfather, but I still like testing my tools to see what they're capable of. Just like I'll cut up fruit with my S5 to see how it does even though in a normal scenario I'd reach for a much thinner blade for that job.

Convexed edges aren't any more work to field maintain if you use a microbevel <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
