Yeouch Great cutting Bubba-san

[Denny Eller]

That's some powerful chopping Dan, and an obviously well built chopper.

[Wayne Coe]

I've seen a lot of 2X4 cutting competitions but I ain't never seen nutten like that. It usually takes 'em a dozen or so swings.
Can you do it again?

[Fred Rowe]

Can I give you a call when its turkey butchering time? Your skill would be useful.

:DFred

[Dwane Oliver]

WOWSERS , thats incredible. Is it a flat or a hollow grind ?

[Dan Keffeler]

Cool Dan... Do you have any close-up photos of the knife?

here is a pic I took today.

This is my coarse comp knife.
10” blade 2” wide
5” handle 15”OAL flat grind bevels with a demon grind with a flanged tip for weight distribution. This knife weight 28ozs I have used this knife for my last three competitions including the world championships at Blade show this year.
Sorry I didn’t include the Official time in my first post. 1.21s

I actually take one of my comp knives with me when I go get fire wood. It works great for clearing branches and I don’t have to were earplugs.

Thanks I glad you liked it.

I film myself when training for competition and I have a hand full of videos where I was able to cut the board in three hits.

I've gotten to the point that I have slowed down on watching the cutting competitions. If you are not a competitor, after a while they seem to be about the same. I sure am sorry that I missed the one at Blade this year an see what you did there. I'll be sure and watch next time.

[Mike Carter]

Way to go Dan! But now ted Ott will be gunning for you to get his record back. :D

I just sent my review of the World Cutting Championship in to Blade.

[Dan Keffeler]

I have allot of respect for Ted Ott and I know he can cut a board that fast. That is what makes it so exciting, We want everyone to their best.

We also have a new 2x4 derby that is almost as much fun to watch as it is to participate. I really think the crowds will really like it.

[J. ROSA]

Dang that was fast. Congrats on scoring the title Dan. That's an accomplishment And then some.

[J. Neilson]

Holy Crap!!!! Most impressive Dan.

[Ernie Swanson]

Totally Insane!!

[Stew]

Dan - impressive!

What's a flanged tip though?

[Dan Keffeler]

It is where the tip is left wider. I use it to distribute weight and change the balance point of the knife.

Here are som pics of the tip. there not great qlty but i think they will do

Dan

[Stew]

Your photos are like mine Dan - focussed on the things I'm not photographing! :D

Is that tip legal then? I thought it was a 'no bulges or swells'?

[Dan Keffeler]

No bulges applies to the primary bevel , false edged and grinds along the spine are not limited.

[Stew]

Cool. That bit always had me a bit confused!

[Mark Behnke]

I blinked and missed it.:D

[BrianBoyles]

Wow
That was great.

[Dan Keffeler]

Here is another vidieo. this one is longer and show my first atempt.
