Limited Edition Jimi Slash Chopper | CPM 3V Competition Knife
A Tool for Champions and Bushcraft Pros
This chopper was designed to withstand extreme conditions. It is primarily intended for the Blade Sports discipline, which involves precise and powerful chopping (e.g., cutting through free-standing timber beams, ropes, or full water bottles). Thanks to its construction and the CPM 3V material (powder metallurgy tool steel), the blade offers extreme toughness and resistance to chipping, even under very rough usage.
Even if you are not a competition cutter, you will appreciate this knife as the ultimate tool for bushcraft and wilderness survival. It will replace your hatchet for firewood preparation, limb trees with ease, and handle any obstacle. The ergonomic handle made of Kray-Ex™ is designed to ensure the knife won't slip even during the most forceful swings, while absorbing shock, which is crucial when working with such thick steel.
Historical Context and Modern Sport
The blade shape is based on historical cleavers and chopping tools that have been optimized for centuries for efficient material separation. The modern discipline of Blade Sports builds on the traditions of lumberjack and blacksmith competitions but transfers them into the realm of scientifically developed steels and geometries. Jimi Slash, who helped develop this model, utilized years of his experience to create a tool with the perfect balance between brute force and control.

Care and Maintenance
Although CPM 3V steel is highly durable, it is not a fully stainless steel (it is a tool steel). To ensure the knife serves you for generations:
- Clean and dry the blade after every use.
- Regularly apply a thin layer of protective oil (e.g., gun oil or camellia oil) to the blade to prevent corrosion.
- Do not leave the leather sheath in damp conditions and occasionally treat it with leather conditioner.
- Never wash the knife in a dishwasher!
Safety Warnings
The Jimi Slash Chopper arrives extremely sharp from the factory. Due to its weight and purpose, careless handling can cause very serious injuries. When chopping, always ensure you have enough space around you and that no one is standing in the path of your swing (including behind you). This knife is not intended for contact fencing, HEMA, or as a throwing weapon.
For this knife, a high-quality diamond sharpening stone set would be a great addition to keep the edge razor-sharp.
