Thanks, Indian! I appreciate your comment. And, yes. I can't think of a better knife to keep me in firewood than one of these BIG choppers! Big n' beefy and they'll stand up to some hard use and even abuse. 

Thanks for posting your recent hunting adventures. I've been living vicariously through you and Dave!

Cheers, my friend. Give your beautiful bride, Angela, a big hug for me, will ya!

J.J.,

I like the '77 the most, myself. Originally it had the same S-shaped guard but the previous owner cut it down. I am still thinking about doing some more work on it and making it more elliptical by rounding off the ends. The '77 also has a more more substantial feeling handle. Being a big guy--6'4" 220 lbs.--the larger handle actually works in my favor. Plus, it just feels more substantial all the way around. If I needed a big chopper in a hurry the '77 is the one that I would grab.

Thanks for your comment!
