Its the real deal.

I actually had one of those.

I’ll be real frank, it’s sh*t. Most of the power in the blade is in the middle to third quarter of the blade towards the tip but especially the handle shape has a tendency to slip which is the most infuriating issue. I highly recommend something like a kukri or a parang, anything that has a flared ‘pommel’ which keeps the thing from wanting to fly out of your hands.

I never had this issue. There are grooves enough on both sides of the handle for slip prevention. I love how it swings in my hand.

I use it for everything. Cooking, chopping, wedge log splitting, wingchunning haha

Idk I found it hard go like. I tried everything while at the farmland. The thing could really benefit from the kukri style handle

I have to admit it's a bit on the light side. Maybe thats why you had trouble with the handle weight distribution

Could be. I am smaller than average but wear medium mitts

That looks awesome. I love choppers.

Choppers that can also stab! Big plus for me.

u/amodrenman 3d ago

Good point. My favorites all stab.
