Chopping Down a Tree with a CS Trailmaster

The CS Trailmaster remains one of my all time favorite larger survival blades. Its thick, has a great swing, a shock-absorbing handle, wedge shaped full-flat grind, decent steel (this one Carbon V version), and an acceptable weight. Here, at about 9,000 altitude in the Rocky Mountains, Nutnfancy downs a 25 tall dead Quaking Aspen tree using this knife's capabilities. The current SK5 Trailmaster should perform with equal adeptness. Nutnfancy Likeability Scale: 10 out of 10
