I'll most definitely post field reviews on both knives and how they compare as large camp knives. I know most consider the fehrman to be superior but I have a feeling that the Thor will be able to hold its own pretty well. If you watch Nutnfancy's reviews on youtube he rates the Cold steel trail master very high as a wilderness blade and the fallkniven thor is a lot like a trail master san mai only with better steel and a better handle.
My prediction is, the Extreme Judgement will excel more as a chopper/splitter and the Thor will be the more well rounded camp knife. I think the Fallkniven is the better defensive blade due to the pointy tip, bowie blade, and steel guard. As far as toughness goes I think the fehrman will be slightly tougher because of the full tang, micarta scales, and overall blade geometry and thickness. But I have no illusions that the fallkniven will be anything short of a beast either. If you watch the destruction tests on knifetests.com, fallkniven's laminated VG-10 is some beastly strong stuff and this knife is thicker and wider than the A1 that was tested. I can only imagine the kind of abuse this big a chunk of laminated VG-10 can take.
