<p>I have one of the Rough Rider Heavy Series, the Sidewinder. Yesterday while out in my hunting area, I decided to see if I could chop down a tree with it.

<p>I have one of the Rough Rider Heavy Series, the Sidewinder. Yesterday while out in my hunting area, I decided to see if I could chop down a tree with it. I picked one about three inches in diameter. Now I know the knife was not designed for any thing like that. And if I had a choice it is definitely not the tool I would normally choose for that job. But I was running a test to determine just what you could do with the RR if necessary, say in a survival situation. It took a while to fell the tree. I didn't bend it over to make the cutting easier. I just chopped until the tree fell of its own weight. The shape of the handle isn't the best for chopping, but again the knife was not designed for that.</p>
<p>Anyway here is the result of the test. It shows you could do it if necessary.</p>
