5 knife battle royale....with a twist (very pic heavy)

Thanks guys it was fun. My favorite part about it was how his eyes lit up when he saw what a knife can do when you put it to work. Showing someone that knives aren't just for violence and the kitchen makes it all worth it.
 
Good job Clich. You done good there, and good for him for finding out so much about knives. Glad to see another being brought into the fold.
 
That was a great review. I think the knife world needs more side-by-side comparisons like this, with blades of equivalent size/profile/intent. Your review also proves the old rule that price & features are often not a reliable indicator of knife performance.

I agree 100% with you on the issue of a choil on the BK-7. I understand Ethan doesn't care for them in general, but I think a properly cut choil (and perhaps the elimination of the thumb ramp) would take an already outstanding knife up another notch in usefulness.
 
The great thing about the BK knives is that for example you can easily add a choil and remove the thumb ramp yourself. Numerous people have done so to really great results. Amongst other things.

I agree. Ben even made mention of the choil (although his term was groove he could put is finger in) he liked it on the fox and how he could bring the stick he was working on, up to his finger and rest it there for control.
I love Becker handles, but for fine stuff the guard makes it feel like your very far away from what your working on.

Thanks for your kind words on the review.
 
Great job clich, I really enjoyed that. That's the first Fox Parang I've seen. I like it, are you going to swap it off?

Yeh either trade or sell. Its in both exchanges right now. Its a very compact chopper, but I just want something longer
 
Thanks guys, now once he gets the bk2, ill let him know the url of that knife subforum where i spend all my time....
 
Great review, mate. I'm the designer of the Fox Parang Bushcraft Jungle, I agree with you about the lack of the point as a camp knife, but this knife was intended to be a chopper primarely. Anyway the false edge on the upperpart of the blade help a bit on stabbing, see i.e. the video below at 1:49

The hidden tang was because of less wheight AND less vibrations when chopping.
Ask me for more info on the Parang Bushcraft Jungle if you want.
Thanks again, Alfredo

Thanks for checking my review out. I completely understand how it was designed as a chopper, and I know its impossible to design a blade that can really do it all very well. the parang was such a nice light, quick, compact chopper it would be a great compliment for woods work. My compliments to you for a great useful and comfortable design, and thanks again for your kind words.
