If both are from the exact same steel
hardened exactly the same
with no potential flaws
it would depend on the cross section (& fullering--if any)
Smallest cross section is around the cho usually
Strengthwise;
Whether the differences really make a difference
depends on how you plan to use it

Siraputis aint kobras, and can be real nice and thick. My 20 inch siru has a half inch spine. Ive used it to limb 14" diameter branches, and it just ate the wood. I think it would be more dependent on the maker, though potentially the AK is more hefty than a siru, but then both are so overbuilt it doesnt make much a difference. Though the weight of a heavy AK, can help in chopping. Yer best bet would be to talk to Uncle Bill, tell him your needs, and he can find you a khuk in their current stock that will fit yer needs. You got a need, Im sure Uncle Bill has a khuk fer ya. Even if you dont have a need, Im sure Uncle Bill still has that perfect khuk fer ya.
