Been practicing those all afternoon along with some flow drills, having received "el hefe" this morning.

OP's would be quite effective with the snap cuts. Wonder what the weight is.

Brownie, when are you planning to do the wrist/forearm cut test? Just excited to see the video that's all.

Please post pics of you holding El Here :-)

Twice the weight of the El Hefe bowie at 14.8 ounces. It's got some weight to it, should be good for chopping.

,
I will be getting to that testing in the next few weeks hopefully.

Brownie, I don't think that is the Actual Weight. I think that is shipping weight which includes the sheath box and all.
