Is he doesn't use carbon because it's hard or he just likes all wood feel? Of course if he will come to forum and say it's impossible to block with lp ox with carbon blade I won't argue.
There is high level player in Canada who use lp ox on w968
Chopping and chop-block it's different styles. With blades op listed impossible to chop but blocking close to table OK. But again OP said he wants to chop. He didn't say something about blocking close to table
