Magnum Chopper

[Tarrodemierda]

Well i thought i post some pics of this one,since some of u asked them.I received this today and i gotta give lots of credits to Benner for helping me out,to get it in finland,so thanks a lot Ben.

Its Branded as Magnum which is owned by Böker company.The knife is full tang construction,made from 440 stainless steel,has 7" long assymmetrically sharpened blade,total length is about 12 1/2".Sheath is made from kydex,has hole-rivets for variable attchments to chest rigs,backpacks or where u want to mount it,and two rows of 1" wide strap holes,but ofcourse it has also normal belt loop made from cordura.Its pretty damn sharp(for a chopping blade)straight from the factory.The handle is just some reinforced black matte finished plastic,mounted with three M6 hex bolts and nuts(which makes me think that it would be just too easy to do some wooden handles all by myself).

Im about to test it a bit and let you know more about my opinions,but so far im really happy with this,it seems to have great quality/price ratio.










The paracord/shocord lanyard in it is made by our member Deano42,its a piece of paracord art,and he made it just like i wanted to,although my explanation and drawing wasnt so good to start with i guess.

Sorry for this lame review but i had to give it a shot

Look's good mate , now off you go to throw some abuse at it

[Benner]

I'm missing it already. 

I hope it lives up to your expectations. 

[Tarrodemierda]

me too,but it so sturdy that it just CANT be broken in few moments at the field.i really like this one.

[Tarrodemierda]

well did some small testing,and man does it break stuff so good.hockey sticks,heavy duty work boots,thin steel pipes,wires,ropes,firewood,woven furniture made from bamboo,they are surrendering under this knife;)

[Hoghead]

...thin steel pipes....surrendering under this knife;)

I'm impressed that it cut steel pipe and while I don't expect to ever cut steel pipe with a knife, it's nice to know that it can.

[Tarrodemierda]

it was just thin steel,some 0,5 mm,and i also hacked it thry one car door,and lots of tuna cans .i gave it just few minutes ago some finishing edge with my fjällkniven diamond/whetstone sharpener,now u can whittle fingernails with it easily;).


this is maybe one of my best knifes i bet,it seems to be similar to our finnish army issue knives,it takes some bit more brutal using without any damage.

and i just made some slight mod into it too :




now thats a combo i happen to like.

[max6166]

That is pretty wild. Looks like a very handy knife to have around. 

[Tarrodemierda]

i think that when i do my next over night trip into woods,i leave the axe home and replace it with that black beauty.
i wish i had some kydex so i could make some utility pocket on top of that sheath,or some cordura to stitch.but that leatherman´s molle sheath aint bad either

[Hoghead]

now thats a combo i happen to like.

I like that combo too. I'm looking forward to your thoughts after you get this out in the wild.

[Anthony]

I wonder why they coulden't come up with a different design for the handle
The Becker BK7

[Tarrodemierda]

  yep i know,its a "bit" similar

[deano42]

Hi

Thats a beauty for sure.!  Make sure it sees some action...

Nice lanyard also 

Thanks
deano

[Tarrodemierda]

it has already seen some beating and it handles veriy well IMO.

 

[Leatherman123]

I really like the look of that... Especially how you've got a SURGE on it! 

[Tarrodemierda]

well thank u kind sir i think too,that is a nice functional combo.

ill keep the surge in it as long as i can get some other more versatile pouch in it,to stash a multi,firesteel and diamond hone at least.

[nezza33]

Cool i'm really gonna have to pick me one of those up! How much was it mate?(if you don't mind me asking?)

[nezza33]

Bloody hell!! Thats chep for such a handy blade.

[Tarrodemierda]

seems like the Chopper will have a new friend called Marttiini Twincut

[Grant Lamontagne]

I'd trade you for my Cold Steel Magnum Kukri chopper:



But it would cost more than the thing is worth to mail it to you!

I think this knife is so great, it could help solve the homeless and unemployment problems!
