[QUOTE="HOSS, post: 619998, member: 1863"] The way I have been utilizing this thing as an ice cutter is using the sharp edge in an axe like fashion to start a cut in the ice in a wedge or square shape. Then I take it and thrust it straight down into the cut with the top of the hawkbill portion. It cuts out a nice big one piece chunk that I can flip out of the hole with the hawkbill hook. This way there is no ice chunks floating around in the hole like my axe leaves. When it refreezes over the ice has to start from scratch so the next busting time the ice is thin and easier to cut. Of course the ice here is only 2" thick or so. If we had serious ice I might use something heavier to bust through with. [/QUOTE]
