This afternoon I had to deal with part of a fallen tree. It was easy to separate from the rest of the main tree trunk. When I got it on the ground, I realized I needed to remove the smaller 1" thick branches from the trunk part. I had no chainsaw, only a hatchet and a Delica.

The tiny Delica made short work of carving those 1" thick green branches off the trunk. It was passing through 1/2" portions with one pass. I used the hatchet to break up the rest of trunk piece.

I am pleased to note that the Delica still sliced paper at the end of this.

That's awsome! name change mini-chainsaw

Heck, that's nothing. If our resident tree surgeon were on the job he'd have whittled the WHOLE tree into kindling with his Manix. :rolleyes:

did you use a SE or PE delica for this?

Lur Kingman,

Hey there, welcome to the forums. The Delica is a big knife in a small package, I use mine on occasion but my girlfriend uses her delica in a rock/soil/mulch bagging plant and it gets used, hard. I would expect the delica to be a great little work/garden knife, and with care, perform daily.

Welcome to the Spyderco Forum. The Delica is a great little knife indeed (and my very EDC)

It was a PE.

Mr Cook:

I'll get pics of the "wood pile" up after I resize the ones I took.

Cool, the Delica is a classic and for good reason. Welcome to the Forum and hope you stick around. Take Care!!!

I am having no luck resizing the pictures right now. My system is recently rebuilt and I cannot find the software that came with my camera. Here's a quick resize.



ETA:

When discussing this post and responses to it, specifically "Mini Chainsaw" when referring to the Delica. My wife said it should be called the "Idelica" Thought you might get a kick out of that. :)
