Alright children...our favorite kind of question...the knife kind!

I don't know....that TOPS arma is really nice, I'd try that. I've held one before, and it's really nice. I like it better than an RTAK, which has too think a handle imo.
 
i have the rinaldi armageddon, it is a beast of a chopper, i have the bk9 also a great knife,i have a becker brute a great knife. there are a lot of choices out there in this price range, buy whatever blows your hair back.

HI khukuris in the 18-20 inch range. Why get a small knife if you need to chop something?
 
+1 for Himalayan Imports.
If you're willing to spend $200 for the Armageddon, all of these (except the third down) came in under that:

They also make big knives if kukris aren't your thing: (third one down is about the size of an Armageddon)

Alot of great recomendations ! But if the Armageddon makes your "palms sweat" then all the other knives, no matter how great they are, will leave you wondering if you made the right choice. Get the Armageddon, if on the off chance your disapointed you can, as you said re-sell it.
 
It's been known to out-chop small axe's :D

I just found this thread doing a search for my name.. The primary difference in the Tops version and my customs is of course material and handle. There is a bit more contouring and roundness to my custom handles. That being said the Tops version is still IMHO very comfortable in hand. Just a bit less hand filling to me. You can see in the pic link below the handles are contoured but a bit flatter overall than the custom version..

BTW thanks for the kind words about the design, Im pretty proud of the Armageddon. I just wish I could keep up with everyone that wants one.:o

The bark river golok's are nice! Also check out Valiant Co. for traditional hand forged golok's, their survival golok is very popular. Koyote has some big ones, I just reviewed my traditional leuku and it should be in W&SS on page 2.
