Once again I have to say Frank has outdone himself. This blade which is almost 16 inches would completely go through a 4 inch tree. I’ve done it this knife is unstoppable the metal is so strong and so tough I cut through Knotts and bone(I’m a chef) without any hesitation. It’s so smooth and so clean this life could truly take the head off if it was necessary. Shaving sharp and just the shape of the blade it’s so efficient and chopping and slicing it’s remarkable. I’ve never met Frank I’ve only ever seen him talk with Alan Kay on YouTube and his product is completely everything you’ve heard about. For real!! Get one of Franks’s knives and you’ll very happy.
