Lots of good choices! I love my Junglas not only as a chopper, but it serves well as a knife too. Let us know what you choose!

I am not attending Blade this year but Brad will. I have no idea what he will come back with for me without me being there. .

Maybe I can get Brad drunk enough to use a Busse

Sorry my friend, I don't drink., but you will be glad to know that I own several Busse knives ....some I use and some are safe queens (sorry grunt).

Do you remember the B-11 in Alabama Clay that I brought to the Chop-IN? I didn't compete with it (not that it would have mattered) but I did do a little chopping with it after the competition was over.

I have had a rodent 9 but I have smaller hands than some people and found the handle bump uncomfortable. I wear a medium motorcycle glove or large work glove.

You cant go wrong with any of the choices you have listed, all have great warranties and are well made.

The 911 from scrapyard should be released soon and is something you should look at resiprene c handled choppers are a delight. Actually any rubber handle makes a chopper better

If you're looking for a dedicated chopper, then the Rodent or Junglas will be the best bet, Brother. If, on the other hand, you are supplementing the small ESEE with the next blade for your quiver, then go with the 711... the 6.5"-8" heavy blades are the most versatile. I can still do wonders chopping with a ~7" Swamp Rat Ratweiler.

Ratweiler second from the top... not offered any longer.

If you are going to go with with dedicated chopper, you can look around and find something that will destroy most hand axes in performance.

Size comp on the right:

Res-C does excel in not getting blisters though.

I think I am leaning more and more towards the dedicated chopper, the Junglaus.

 

[DaKruiser]

OMG!

 

[GBuck]

OMG!

Stop drooling in my thread!

 

[DaKruiser]

Stop drooling in my thread!

Who me?

Can't help it dangit! Look at all that steel!

 

[GBuck]

I know.. Just looking at it makes me green with envy.

I remember you saying you used it, but I can't exactly remember you using it. I have to see it with my own eyes.

Damn Stacey you have a SAR 3 folder too? Is Frank handing these things out to everyone but me?

There are six. Two belong to "family" who are not immediately blood. That is one of them. I take it you've seen the other.

Yeah, I was about 4 feet away from you know who when Frank said "here". So yeah, I've seen it, and I think I saw that one or just one of them in general at a 1500 last year.

I played with them right after they were done, they were brought to show and tell.

So, I played with them when they weren't covered in fingerprints and slobber

What about a BK9? I don't hear a lot about beckers on here, but some swear by them. It's cheaper than your other options also.
