I'm on the "safe" thread so I'm gonna open my big mouth and say a step dutch should not be by itself, but used together with the kerf dutch as extra insurance the weak side will break first and let the strong side holding wood pull the stem around. Pros like y'all can definitely rely on u'r kerf Dutch swinging correctly, but I always use a conventional face with a block, in addition to the kerf dutch when I'm intentionally avoiding something. Never tried the soft Dutch, but it looks cool.

Husk a step dutch has a dutch cut in it that is what makes the step/pivot work along with the manipulation of the hinge


All these terms are getting confusing lol

Not only do they look cool but they work even better! I have been putting my own twist on them depending on whether I'm cutting oak or pine...flat ground or steep etc. I should try and see if I can video what I been doing, I don't think the swing will show up right though.
