Fantastic chopper!
I am very impressed with this knife so far. It's a wonderful chopper, it's a lot lighter than I expected but still thicker than a machete. It is the perfect tool for stripping a branch. During some recent yard clearing work I used the Libertariat more than I used a hatchet. The steel is a great blend of sharp and tough for that sort of work. Would definitely recommend!

Chopper
It's good for the price, could just be a little bigger and heavier, but it's sharp enough and get's the job done. Have to wonder about limited to 550 run number, seem's to be a few reviews out there.
