thanks fellas, I did some cutting with it and it really snicks through the sapplings like nothing... as it should.
Just curious, how much would something like that weigh? Have admired your work for a long time. Mike
hi Mike, not sure I haven't weighed it. Its a handful though, not a lot of distal taper to this one, purposefully wanted to keep the fwd. weight for heavy chopping etc..
Man o man you've got a way with steel!
