[Standard78]

Do it! I triple dog dare ya....

Haha soon!
I only have a few 4x4 blocks sitting around here for chopping material because I trashed a bunch of firewood that was full or termites.

I really like how those (unbuffed OG green) canvas micarta handle scales end up looking with copious use

They are really fibrous and absorb stuff pretty easily. I really like the extra roughness that came with these scales!

Does anyone with a MC have a CS Trailmaster to take a side by side photo? Just trying to reference the overall build visually (and hopefully eventually secure a CPK long knife).

Thanks

Hey Andy, sorry I didn’t see your request earlier.

I currently have 2 MC’s on the pre-order thread, and I noticed most people have opted for heavy duty. I was leaning that way myself, since I have 2 LC’s currently and the HDMC seems like a bigger difference for a heavier duty camp/survival knife. What’s the consensus from people who currently have a regular MC?

The MC is everything you want in a 10" knife. The MC is my dedicated backpacking knife if I want to go get lost in the woods for a few nights. Like Nathan said, the HC is not a better knife than the MC, just more robust.

It chops well, splits/batons well, makes great feathers and is not heavy to carry in your pack. It's a perfect woods knife!

I have the medium chopper, but do not have one of the HC protos or my BCs for comparison yet. The production Medium Choppers are fantastic IMO...well balanced, splits wood nicely but still very good to swing and bites deep. The HDMC is high on my want list because of the curiosity factor, but the timing was wrong for me on this preorder. I think it will be hard to say because no one has the production HDMC for comparison yet.

Me and Jonny were posting at the same time but I fully endorse what he said above!

Just get 1 of eachProblem Solved! Weight 23 oz HC vs 21 oz for MC is not enough of a difference IMO to be concerned about, The HC is simply more Robust (Strength of the blade will endure more punishment) because of the stock .25 for the HC vs .22 for the Medium.
Edit: Here is a comparison between the MC and BC (Note BC and HDMC suppose to Have identical thickness-.25) MC on the left, BC on the right Hope this helps
EDIT: The HDMC also has taller grinds, and a smaller fuller! Translation-The HDMC and MC are not the Same
