I have one of the Medium Chopper Prototypes in the .190-.200 thickness with Ebonite handles available to trade for a Light Chopper. This is only available to trade for a Light Chopper since I have already given someone dibs for a sale. I am trying to help out a friend who really wants an LC, so I am not looking for any other trades.
But on to the knife! It is used. I used it for two weeks to get ready for the review I am in the process of writing. It is still in very nice shape and the edge is still shaving sharp and undamaged, and the handle is undamaged. The acid etch does show evidence of use. Even non-abrasive rubbing trying to get off sap and pitch proved enough to mark the blade.
I am posting the pictures as thumbnails so this post isn't ginormous. If you need even higher resolution pictures you can message me.
And in case you were wondering about my opinion on the Ebonite, I love it. It's my new favorite for working choppers. I would very seriously consider buying Ebonite scales for my work LC if CPK made them available. I am totally sold on the material. The difference is not so apparent in individual strikes, but after a day of chopping I definitely felt significantly less joint pain.
