    I'm increasingly jealous of the variety of chopping mediums in your yard- all you need is a giant prickly pear patch to pretend to be a ninja in and you'd just about be able to charge entry.

    It just occurred to me while watching this mix of older and newer footage that you're like the Gene Hackman of knife videos. The same way that Gene always looks 50 years old, no matter what era movie you're watching, the same can be said of AKB. You've ALWAYS looked like you're 40, whether it's one of your very first videos, or a current one. So, congratulations, I guess?

    I use the Svôrd Golok and the Vuresteleka Skrama 240 for choppers.
    I've noticed that out of the box the Golok far excelled clearing grasses, other "greenery", softwoods, and green wood more than the Skrama.
    The Skrama, (still capable in the above, don't get me wrong) performed better on dry brush and dry wood.
    I figure it makes sense. The golok is designed for wet, lush, green jungle green growth while the Finnish Skrama is meant for harder woods.

    • @jeremiahshine
      @jeremiahshine 2 роки тому

      The Svôrd Golok is convex and the Skrama is Skandi. My W49 was slicier and bit harder with my own convex mod. I think I'd trade both of these to get the w49 back.
